🌊

The Wave

When it works the break prefers steady W-NW groundswells with light NE offshore breezes.

Mid-tide to mid-high windows usually focus energy onto the sandbars for punchy A-frame peaks.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The approach is a brisk quarter-mile walk from public access and the beach is effectively private - expect light crowds but watch strong rip currents and localism near the peaks.

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