Surf: Tucked into a bay is Little Malibu, which has small, fast, tubey rights over a shallow, fire coral reef. Half the size of Rincon breaks and packed with local bodyboarders who don’t have to worry about losing fins. Environment: Even good surfers will struggle to get waves off the committed local crew. Surf: General: Little Malibu isn't really an accurate name for this zippy righthander. Sure, it's a right, and yes, it's often small. But where Malibu is slopey, semi-slow, and littered with longboarders, Little Malibu is hollow, pretty fast and infested with bodyboarders. It's super-shallow -- coral heads actually stick up in the face of some smaller waves, ready to rip off fins, fiberglass and flesh -- and pretty inconsistent. Tres Palmas needs to be double-overhead for it to be shoulder-high, 'cause it's tucked so far in the bay. That said, it's a damn pretty tube. Tides: Mid to high Size: Chest high-overhead Wind: Northeast to East Swell: NW Bottom: Shallow coral Paddling: Not bad, it is the crowd that will get you. Spot Rating: An option on the really big days. Access: Park at The Spot Crowds: Crowd Factor: When it is working it is crowded. Local Vibe: Very tight. Environment: A little dirty after rains. Hazards: Shallow coral heads. Season: Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.
