Lineup Insights

The Wave

Works best on mid to mid-rising tide with a southwest-west groundswell and light east offshore.

Prevailing NW winds often wreck the clean window and crowds stay low unless a rare good swell hits.

Lineup Guide

Steep, narrow access and rocky tidepools mean tricky entries and a higher consequence fall - watch shorebreak and rips.
