General Overview

Another North County right point break, Topanga is located at the end of Topanga Canyon and is easily visible and accessible from Pacific Coast Highway 1. The frequent comparisons to Malibu have stained this sometimes excellent wave’s reputation. On the right swell the sections connect for long rippable and fast waves, but crowds and localism can be a big problem.

Great surf spot, but the crowds are a little tough to deal with. Though, when other spots in Central LA are closing out, this is a much better bet.

Nice waist high + waves, but crowded. As expected, a lot better shape than the beach breaks in central LA....
