Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

When a long-period SE groundswell arrives Goosewing lights up with both lefts and rights.

Clean conditions favor a northerly (onshore-to-side-offshore) breeze and mid-to-high tide windows often improve shape while low tide exposes cobbles and stronger rips.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The preserve status and nesting piping-plover areas mean access is funneled from South Shore and parts of the shore are fenced off - expect limited parking and seasonal closures.

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