Lineup Insights

Lineup Guide

The lineup sits over sharp rock shelves and strong rips - expect technical takeoffs and limited forgiveness near the channel.

When an east-northeast long-period swell arrives with west-southwest winds, the reef lights up around low tide.

Steer clear on large windswells and check for rip vectors near the right-side channel.
