About Westward Beach

Westward Beach in Malibu is a premier destination for both surfing and bodyboarding enthusiasts. Known for its vibrant summer scene, this spot attracts a mix of seasoned locals and eager newcomers, including kids from the Valley looking to catch their first wave. The beach can get crowded, but it's a fantastic place to enjoy the surf.

Atmosphere

Westward Beach, affectionately known as "Westies" by the locals, has a unique atmosphere that fosters mutual respect among its diverse community. Whether you're a stand-up surfer or a dedicated bodyboarder, there's a strong sense of camaraderie here. Experienced riders appreciate the challenging conditions and the shared respect for the sport. However, it's crucial to leave any prejudice at home—Westies thrives on the mutual respect between surfers and bodyboarders. If you harbor any dislike for the other group, it's best to find another spot.

Additional Info

Parking can be a hassle, especially during peak times. While you can usually find a spot along the road, the nearby Gray Whale restaurant offers parking for $5 if the beach lot is full. Despite this minor inconvenience, Westward Beach remains a beloved spot for its diverse and vibrant surfing community.

The waves at Westies are not for the faint-hearted. This spot is renowned for its heavy closeouts, especially on good days. Surfers must be prepared to handle these powerful conditions and watch out for strong rips and shallow waters. A wrong move can lead to serious injuries, such as neck tweaks, due to the heavy, closeout waves.

Summary

Westward Beach is a true gem in Malibu's surfing scene. Its blend of challenging waves, diverse crowd, and the vibrant summer atmosphere make it an exciting place to surf and bodyboard. Just remember to respect the local etiquette, stay cautious of the powerful surf, and enjoy the unique vibe that makes Westies a standout spot on the California coast.
