Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best windows are W-WSW groundswells with light E/NE offshore.
Low to mid tides (falling-to-stable) typically produce the cleanest, hollower lefts while onshore W winds and high tide flatten the shape.
Lineup Guide
The takeoff zone sits over jagged reef and submerged rocks - expect consequential wipeouts and strong localism around the peak, and wear booties when scrambling in.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
