Malibu condition - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sasha · 06-03-2011, 04:56 PM

Does anyone has any idea what the ocean condition would be at malibu this weekend compare to last weekend??? Im thinking maybe i could get away on sunday and try my hand at fishing again.. Just rather not be in the huge swell again and have a little easier lanching and landing... They say it should be 1-2ft waves...but no mention of the swell. Still trying to learn to read the info they post and learn how to read the waves when lanching..

im in valley and been out once or twice at malibu. not sure exactly sure how to read reports either. what i can tell you is that when it crashes it is hard , fast and abrupt . also when sun sets santa ana winds can kick up 20-30 miles an hour. big sea bass pulled out of there though. as far as launching, if its not flat 1 -2 ft, not ideal situation. are you near valley? let me know . i am always looking someone to fish with.

Looking at the swell reports it doesn't sound too bad.. its definitely better than it was recently. You'll probably see 2-3 footers, nothing huge but of course watch out for the shorebreak. Good luck out there.

Saturday starts with 2-1/2 and drops to 2 at 9am with 12 to 13 second intervals, wind works up to 9mph by noon; overall a great day

Sunday's report calls for 2-1/2 all day running the same intervals, wind up to 10 mph by noon, another good day.

Good luck out there!

Hey Sasha,
I went out today at esco and the surf wasn't too bad. A couple bigger sets but just be patient and you'll make it out dry. Keep in mind there will be a very low tide early, which makes the waves at esco a bit trickier to read.

I'd join you but I've got a day full of chores tomorrow. Good luck.
