Today

Good day of waves, conditions look best in the AM. PM onshores manageable, evening clean up.

SSW swell tops out for waist-chest high waves at average spots. Better breaks head-high with some overhead sets in the mix at standouts. Some - but not a lot- of NW energy in the mix so the open beachbreaks are pretty walled -- especially around the early/mid-AM low tide. But there will be just enough for the odd corner.

Light wind early this AM and clean. Light+ SW wind later this AM and this PM, wind lightens this evening.

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.
