About

Westward Beach, nestled in the rugged embrace of Point Dume, offers a canvas of powerful, barreling waves that dance across a sandy bottom. As swell rises from the west and southwest, this beach-break serves up both lefts and rights, inviting only the strong to navigate its forceful embrace. With a swell size that can reach beyond 12 feet, it beckons the skilled, while mid-tide reveals the best of its offerings. Amidst the backdrop of Malibu's picturesque coastline, parking may pose a challenge, but the reward is a less crowded surf experience that has drawn legends like Slater to its shores.
