Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best-signal conditions are north to northwest groundswells in winter with winds from the north-northwest producing the cleanest faces.

The setup tends to peak from low to mid tide and often improves on a rising tide.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The pass funnels energy into a concentrated right that rewards accurate positioning but punishes late drops - watch for strong rips and submerged ledges near the bridge approaches and expect heavy local use when the pass fires.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
