Lineup Insights

The Wave

A string of old groins and occasional nearshore rocks steer where peaks form and can concentrate crowds around the jetties.

Best windows are E-ENE long-period swell with SW-W winds (offshore), usually around mid tide rising for the cleanest, most powerful peaks.

Lineup Guide

Watch for sneaky rips near groins.
