Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best surf comes on long-period S swells with a northerly to NNE offshore breeze.

Cleanest windows are low-mid tides when the sandbar shapes a punchy, hollow face but can get gutless on very high tide.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Expect a rock pile and occasional localism near the access point - respect the lineup and watch the shallow sections around the rocks.

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