According to Surfline, "S/SSW swell holds Wed then fades late week as selective tropical swell peaks."



Wednesday, August 12th: S/SSW swell offers 3-5′ surf at focal points. Lightest wind in the AM.
SSW/S swell (195-180) holds, small NW windswell creeps up, and selective SSE swell from Elida creeps in late. Fun-zone surf (3-4′ faces) continues at the better breaks across western North LA. Standouts in those regions go larger at times. Variable to light onshore W/WNW wind early trends onshore through the morning. Light to moderate WNW winds for the afternoon.generally clean conditions early (some spots may see a touch of surface lump/bump). Winds are trending light+ onshore through the morning from the W. Light+ to locally moderate onshore winds pick up for the afternoon adding bump/texture at most spots.

Thursday, August 13th: Blend of SSW/SSE swell offers 3-4’+ surf at focal points. Lightest wind in the AM.
Selective SSE trending S swell from Elida peaks in the morning as old SSW/S swell (195-180) eases. Modest, local NW windswell energy blends in. Rideable to fun-zone surf (2-3’+ faces) continues at the better breaks across western North LA. Standouts go larger at times. Variable to light onshore W/WNW wind early trends onshore through the mid to late-morning. Light to moderate WNW winds for the afternoon are strongest for North LA.

Ready for some more swell hype:



Tropical Storm Elida, off the coast of Southwest Mexico, has been upgraded to a hurricane on Monday as it skirts into the Southern California swell window, bringing potential to see a small pulse of SSE swell move in through the middle to back half of the upcoming week, mixing with lingering Southern Hemi swell.

According to Surfline, "S/SSW swell peaks Tuesday; small NW windswell lingerss."



Monday, August 10th: New S/SSW swell builds. 3-5’+ surf — largest in PM, small NW windswell mixes in. Light wind in the AM.
SSW trending S swell (195-180) is gradually building all day — expect early morning to be a slow and inconsistent with waist-chest high surf at good spots. Surf becomes a bit more consistent in the afternoon while those standout summer focal points pull in head high to slightly overhead sets by sundown. Calm to light onshore winds early — generally clean conditions early (some spots may see a touch of surface lump/bump). Winds are trending light+ onshore through the morning from the W. Light+ to locally moderate onshore winds pick up for the afternoon adding bump/texture at most spots.

Tuesday-Wednesday, August 11th-12th: S/SSW swell peaks for 3-5’+ surf. Minor NW windswell mixes in. Light wind in the AM.
Our SSW trending S swell (195-180) strongest days, look for fun-zone surf (3-4’+ faces) at the better breaks across western North LA. Standouts see head high sets at times and a couple of spots may go larger.



The Coronavirus Lockdown claims another local event.

"It is with great sadness, we announce that the Malibu Chili Cook-Off hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu will not be taking place this year."

The organizers of Malibu Chili Cook-Off recently made the announcement about the annual Labor Day Weekend Event.

"This was a very difficult decision that we hoped would come to a different outcome. 2020 has been a tumultuous year, no doubt, and with the recent spikes in cases and the near future being unpredictable, we feel this is the best decision in interest of our community’s health and safety. We have weighed all possible options, and we cannot hold an event that may further jeopardize the well-being of our community."

According to Surfline, "Modest scale SW swell gradually picks up over the weekend, as little NW windswell lingers."



Sunday, August 9th: Small SW swell peaks, little NW windswell hangs on and some new S swell starts to show, for 2-3 surf, some better sets at top spots. AM winds are light. .
Modest scale SW swell tops out, as smaller NW windswell persists, and a fresh, long-period begins to join in, with knee-waist high waves at breaks with a good SW view. SW challenged areas get the smallest surf, mainly in the 1-2′ zone. Morning winds are mainly light/variable to light onshore (possibility for some light surface bump), then light+ to locally moderate onshore flow develops for the afternoon.

Monday, August 10th: New S/SSW swell builds for 3-5’+ surf in PM, leftover NW windswell mixes in. Light wind in the AM..
SSW trending S swell (195-180) is trending up all day with waist-shoulder high+ surf building through the morning — longer-period focal points should see some larger sets through the morning hours, inconsistent overall, but likely up to head high or so. Chest-head high sets show more frequently through the afternoon. Calm to light onshore winds early — generally clean conditions early but some spots may see a touch of surface bump. Winds are trending light+ onshore through the morning from the W. Light+ to locally moderate onshore winds pick up for the afternoon adding bump/texture at most spots.
