Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best shape is on northwest groundswells (N/NW) at low-to-mid tide with light S-SE offshore.
Strong ENE trades or high tide tend to soften or close the peaks.
Lineup Guide
Hidden behind Sunset’s main point, Backyards offers fewer people but a shallower coral platform - expect steep takeoffs and possible reef axeings near Boneyards.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
