Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best shape comes on long-period W-SW groundswells with light NE offshore winds.
The break tends to favor lower tides for more defined peaks but will also fire on focused long-period west swells.
Lineup Guide
The Cliffs lineup picks tighter, steeper peaks than the main pier zone and often develops strong rip currents - expect a concentrated peak near the rocky cutoff and a busy local crowd when it’s working.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
