About
Malaga Cove, nestled in the Palos Verdes Estates, offers a rugged beauty where flat rocks meet the waves. The surf here is rippable, with sloppy rights and lefts that dance under the Northwest and Southwest swells, best caught at low to mid tide. It begins to work at a modest 3 feet and can swell up to 8 feet, rewarding those who brave its rocky floor. With the wind blowing from the south, the cove invites the eager and the skilled to ride the restless sea.
