Seasonal Weather Patterns in Malibu

Malibu, California experiences a coastal Mediterranean climate with cool, damp winters and warm, dry summers — a mix that can quietly affect gutter systems and home exteriors throughout the year. In winter (December–February), Malibu receives most of its annual rainfall, often in bursts that range from light coastal showers to heavy downpours driven by Pacific storms. When gutters are clogged with salt-laden debris or leaves from nearby eucalyptus and sycamore trees, these rains can lead to overflowing water, wood rot, or staining along stucco and siding. Spring (March–May) brings milder rain and breezy days, but also heavy pollen, flower petals, and dust carried in from the hills, all of which can settle in gutters and create partial blockages that go unnoticed until the next storm. By summer (June–August), Malibu turns dry and warm, though coastal fog and salty ocean air remain constant factors. This combination can lead to corrosion on metal gutters, especially aluminum or steel systems near the shoreline. Salt deposits, sand, and sea spray accumulate over time, weakening gutter coatings and hardware. In fall (September–November), the Santa Ana winds sweep through the canyons and coastline, bringing dry air and debris that can quickly fill gutters with leaves and dust just before winter rains return. Though Malibu’s mild temperatures prevent freezing or ice-related issues, its salt air, sea fog, and strong seasonal winds make regular gutter cleaning and inspection essential to prevent rust, leaks, and long-term coastal weather damage.

Best Malibu Gutter Company Services

John and his beautiful and well trained dog came for estimate and he had some great suggestions on where to add and subtract the downspouts. We have never done seamless gutters and they really are very beautiful. We went with a beautiful dark bronze which matches the house and our fascia boards perfectly. The crew did a great job. We will see how they work after some rain but John let me know that they could come back if there is an issue and modify if necessary. Great warranty by the company. Honestly, the dog was the best part. She really should be on your business card not gutters!

I’ve helped many homeowners and property managers in Malibu protect their coastal homes from the harsh mix of salt air, wind, and rain that affect gutters year-round. Malibu gets about 15 inches of rain annually, mostly between December and April, with the heaviest downpours often coming in February. The long, dry summers and salty ocean air can corrode metal gutters faster than inland areas, while eucalyptus and pine debris—combined with powerful Santa Ana winds—can clog systems in a single day. With steep hillsides and coastal storms adding to the challenge, seamless aluminum or copper gutters and consistent cleanings are key to keeping Malibu homes safe and looking their best throughout the year.
