🌊

The Wave

Best days are S-SW long-period pulses that wrap into the south-facing point with light E-NE offshore breezes.

Incoming-to-high tide typically gives the most punch and hold.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Rip-prone channels and a narrow, shifting sandbar around the point create fast, hollow rights that can close out quickly and attract localism.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
