Long, wide Malibu sandbar that runs explosive shorebreak at the south end (Drainpipes) but offers forgiving, rideable peaks across its length on steady S-SW groundswells. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Zuma Beach in California.
Forecast
As of:
Elsewhere Zuma’s long sandbars spread energy across many peaks so it rarely feels claustrophobic.
It cleans up best on S-SW groundswells with NE/ENE offshore breezes and tends to work around mid tide, while strong rips and occasional water-quality advisories are regular cautions.
The southern stretch around Westward/Drainpipes can jack up into heavy shorebreak and powerful shorepound-treat takeoffs and shallow wipeouts as high-consequence hazards.
