Live updates
Three groins and frequent sand movement create short, powerful peaks that can close out quickly and set strong rips near the lighthouse.
Best everyday windows are long-period E-SE or NE groundswells with light W-NW offshore breeze.
Tides shift which groin holds the peak so low-mid tide usually sorts cleaner lines.
Expect heavier takeoff consequences around the First and Third groins.
