Today

Fun (to locally good size) tropical swell continues. Manageable PM lump, points look best.

Afternoon Outlook: Swell direction trends more S-SSW and size will be close to end of day Sunday (chest-head high for many, top spots hit overhead at times). Light westerly wind for mellow texture either side of Dume -- looks lumpiest around Topanga zone. Expect more texture to show out west mid-PM, and the near 5' high tide also adds to the overall mushiness of the surf. Evening window worth watching, especially surfing the points as the tide comes down.

Topanga Beach Surf Guide

A very visible long, right point at the base of Topanga Canyon. Topanga can be a real workable wave with plenty of challenging sections, but it never matches the shape of its cousin, Malibu. Topanga will take any swell, but it's best on a big west. During the huge El Nino winter of 1982-'83, local Donnie Wilson picked off a ride from Topanga that connected all the way past Chart House -- a distance of more than 300 yards.
