Coastal soaring ridge on the Pacific east of Pepperdine in Malibu, launching south toward the ocean around 545 ft. It works on the afternoon south-quadrant sea breeze; mornings are usually too light. A Santa Ana (offshore NE) shuts it down and makes it dangerous with lee-side rotor. The launch is tree-bounded, so keep it to light-to-moderate wind. Popular with SoCal pilots and used for tandem instruction.
