This long stretch of beach loves a solid, long-period NW swell or combination of NW and S/SW swell. And thanks to the offshore bathymetry, those long winter lines get broken up and funnel in as juicy mega-peaks. Additionally, when offshore wind blows, Baja Malibu can turn into an anomaly of apexes compared to nearby Baja breaks. However, just as easily, onshore winds can shred the surf to uselessness.
