The Wave

West offshore is the stable clean wind call, south-southeast swell is the main trigger, and mid tide on the falling side is the best window; high and low tide can still work on the broader reef-cluster setup.

Watch for rips, rocks, localism, and weekend crowding, and keep a low profile in the lineup.
