Ask locals, drive past the tunnel, and expect a short but exposed approach from the road.
Northwest wind is the clean side, southwest swell is the main trigger, and the reef is serious enough that urchins, rocks, and undertow matter as much as the lineup itself and the tide is best treated as a broad working window rather than a hard lock.
