Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best windows are southwest to west swells with light NE/E winds.
Mid to mid-high tides tend to smooth the face and open the long right lines, while low tides expose hollower, rockier sections and increase consequence.
Lineup Guide
The lineup sits above submerged cobblestones and occasional exposed rocks - expect awkward paddles and the need to pick your takeoff line to avoid reef patches.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
