Malibu

Malibu is a beach break located on Vietnam's south-central coast facing east into the South China Sea. The spot features a developed coastal strip with residential areas, hotels, and commercial infrastructure backing a sandy beach with moderate wave exposure. The bay configuration provides some wave protection while still receiving swell energy. Wind reliability is notably low at 10.5%, suggesting seasonal wind patterns dominate rather than consistent trade winds. Average wave heights of 0.79m indicate small, manageable conditions suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. The rough-chop water type suggests choppy conditions typical of shallow bays with variable currents. Best conditions occur with north to northeast winds providing side-shore conditions. The spot suits beginners and progression riders seeking manageable wave heights and wind, though frequent flat spells should be expected. Riders should account for shallow water near shore, commercial activity, and variable wind patterns when planning sessions. Winter months (November-March) typically offer more stable wind and wave windows.
