Would you surf it?
It's no secret that Malibu (Surfrider Beach) gets crowded but do days like this make it worth it?
I headed to Malibu on Friday July 1st, 2022 for the holiday weekend swell.
One of the key factors that makes Malibu so crowded is the wave. It's basically a fun wave for every type of surfer making it accessible to everyone. It's a non-discriminating wave.
Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see you on the sand.

It's been over 30 years since I last surfed Malibu. Sadly, I can't envision any circumstance that lure me back to hassle with that crowd. Even watching it on the webcams on a crowded day sends my blood pressure to dangerous levels.

I recently saw a picture of Malibu from 1906. The famous pier is there because it was recently built to receive agricultural supplies for a nearby ranch, and there's a small building in front of it to store supplies, but beyond that there is NOTHING there. No houses, no cars, nothing at all. To think of that wave peeling unridden for thousands of years... man, If we had a time machine. lol

To me, the best Malibu is by moonlight. Otherwise, just too Zoo'ed-out to be fun - even if you're getting good waves from the crowd. Hurricane Marie was pretty good, at Maxing outside First Point... But there were so many people paddling blindly for the shoulders, with eyes the size of saucers, that it was almost impossible to get a barrel, or do a turn where you needed to... Just a full on Slalom Course. On the Friday of 4th of July Weekend, I pushed on past, to Secos, and was happy with the decision. There were overhead sets breaking on the outer reef, though pretty infrequently (two at a time, mostly - and a half hour apart)... But if you committed, and sat outside, you could get rides to the stairs. And it was much more civilized, and less crowded.

At 6:25 not sure who this guy is (he rips) but it seems he would land his final aerial, on both these 2 waves (2 consecutive waves here), if he goes for the full rotation 360. He only spins about 180 and then seems to give up on it. He is so close. Gotta commit next time. Full rotator.

Come try that in Hawaii and Someone will take it to the beach. Don’t get me wrong, town has spots that are known learners beachs so this would be similar but try it at bowls or a better spot and you’re gonna have a bad day.
