Latigo Point
Edit SpotAbout
Go here to avoid the crowds at Malibu. It breaks so rarely that many people do not even check it. It takes a little bit of effort to surf here.
Atmosphere:
Rarely breaks unless a decent sized swell. Will break bigger than Malibu usually, but mushier. Good longboarding spot, long workable rights. Some rocks to watch out for on the inside. Locals are usually not super aggressive but of course don't drop in on anyone and sit to the side. This place breaks so rarely that it's a limited resource and locals likely will drop in on you if you claim the set waves.
Additional Info:
Long right hand point break that will break on a strong South or South East swell. Long walk down beach below the high tide line. Limited parking in lot above.
