Lineup Insights
The Wave
Works best on W-WNW groundswells with light E-ESE offshore breezes.
Low to mid tides usually groom the barrels although very large swell tends to be less tide-sensitive.

Strong rip currents and powerful shorebreak are common hazards.
Steep, unstable cliffs and a long, exposed hike keep lineups smaller but demand a committed exit plan.
