Little Malibu breaks right in front of the Rincon Marina jetty, producing a hollow, fast right-hander over extremely shallow coral reef — as little as two feet deep at low tide. Despite the inviting name, this is not a mellow longboard wave; coral heads poke through the wave face on smaller swells and the reef is sharp and unforgiving. The adjacent Marina offers small sandy-bottom waves suitable for beginners, but the main reef break demands intermediate skills and reef awareness.
