Lineup Insights

The Wave

Sandbars at 1st Street shift rapidly after storms - the best peaks can move a block or two from day to day and rips form near the walkovers.

Expect cleaner surf on longer-period NE groundswells with light W-to-NW offshore breeze.

Mid-to-high tide evens out shorebreak but very low tide can close sections out.
