Wide, sandy beach with various sandbar peaks; often very hollow and always powerful. Gets epic during offshore winds, funnelled by Trancas and Zuma canyons, and a peaky SW swell. Holds up to a foot or two overhead. Wicked currents and rips. Use caution.
A huge pay-parking lot borders the entire three-mile-plus stretch of beach. It's where all the Valley people come for their beach parties. Think Disneyland-by-the-Sea.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
