Topanga Beach is seeing light swell energy from the southwest with strong, well-spaced sets, though the size is on the smaller side. The southwest wind at 10 mph is steady but totally blowing out the surf, making conditions tough to ride. The tide is dropping around 4 feet, which still supports some shape on the waves at this point. Overall, the surf is playable but messy, so it's more of a session for locals willing to handle the wind chop.
