Malabar Surf Guide

Malabar doesn't offer much most days, however, when everywhere else is maxed in the 6- to 8-foot plus range it can be worth checking the left-hander near the cliffs. This reef break is fickle and only works on occasion, but when it does it can provide a rideable alternative on big, windy days.
