[5] Malibu Lagoon is a famous right-break that had a big impact on the surfing culture in Southern California in the 1960s.

Located near the Malibu Pier, it is among the most popular surf spots in Los Angeles County.

The shoreline is usually triple-cornered due to the buildup of silt, sand, and cobble at the mouth of the creek.

The tapering, smooth-breaking waves are recognized among surfers worldwide as the gold standard for summertime "point" surf.

On the south swells most common in late August and September, surfers can ride all the way to the pier.
