Leo Carillo State Beach is a beach break located along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. The beach faces west toward the open Pacific Ocean with a sandy bottom. The spot sits between the PCH and the water, with limited flat ground for equipment setup. Wave heights average 0.87m, making this suitable for beginners and light wind conditions. The area experiences low wind reliability (5.5%) with average winds of 6.6 knots, indicating this is not a primary wind-driven kitesurfing destination. North winds provide ideal side-shore conditions. The beach offers scenic cliffside terrain inland with coastal scrubland. Kiters should be aware of the highway proximity, limited setup space, and occasional rocky sections. Water temperatures around 17°C (63°F) require wetsuits year-round. This spot works best during autumn and winter swells when occasional larger waves provide more consistent conditions, though wind remains marginal. Best suited for local riders seeking alternatives during low-wind days or those practicing in small, manageable conditions.
