Sand & geology

Sand mixed with water-tumbled cobblestone washed down Malibu Creek over millennia. The cobblestone bed is what makes the wave a point break and what forced the boards to adapt.

Got a close-up photo of the sand here?

Take a picture with a coin for scale and send it over. We're building a global grain-photo library and this beach isn't in it yet.
