Lineup Insights

The Wave

Expect shifting peaks where the creek mouth and summer sandbar build change the takeoff zones.

Works best in summer on W-WSW groundswells with light E-side offshore winds.

Mid tide (especially rising into mid) usually sharpens the peaks and reduces mush.

Lineup Guide

There are offshore rocks at the north end, soft sand access that can trap vehicles, and known rip/shark risk.
