Lineup Guide

Park or stay near Flat Rock Road / Flat Rock Tent Park access, use west winds and east quadrant swell, and treat the tide as secondary: the middle of the cycle reads a touch cleaner but the spot stays broadly surfable.

Expect rock pools, family traffic, school-holiday patrols, rips, sharks, and a lineup that can get crowded when conditions line up.
