Latigo Point is a surf spot on the Malibu coast in Los Angeles County, California. It’s a scenic point break area just west of Malibu, known for its exposed Pacific swell and beautiful coastal setting.

Quick description

Type: Point/reef-like break with waves shaped by the point
Location: Along Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu
Best for: Intermediate to experienced surfers, depending on conditions
Wave character: Can be long, fun, and lined-up when swell and tide align
Scenery: Cliffs, coastal bluffs, and a classic Southern California beachscape

What to expect

Latigo Point can produce clean, peeling waves on the right swell direction, especially when offshore winds groom the surface. Like many Malibu-area spots, it can be crowded when conditions are good. The wave quality is highly dependent on swell angle, tide, and sand/reef changes.

Conditions

Swell: Works best with a solid Pacific swell
Wind: Offshore winds are ideal
Tide: Tidal state can make a big difference in shape and consistency
Crowd factor: Moderate to heavy on good days
