The Wave
West to WNW winds clean it up, southeast swell is the best energy, and the beach works on all tides.

Lineup Guide
Access is easiest from the car park and amenities under the railway; a secondary walk under the rail line reaches the beach from the other end.
The beach is rips-heavy, with permanent rips at the headlands and more transient rips between them, so watch the current before paddling out.
