West-northwest flow keeps it clean, southwest swell is the main trigger, and low tide exposes more reef while mid tide is the cleanest stage.
High water softens the line a bit, so the reef is best when it is standing up rather than smearing.
The access is easy enough for a camping-and-fishing bay, but the lineup stays quiet enough that you can usually pick your own peak.
Watch the rocks, rips, and sharks.
