Lineup Insights
The Wave
The break favors medium-period W-WSW groundswells (with occasional NW pulses) and cleans up under NE/Santa Ana offshore breeze.
Performance is best on mid to medium tides with periods over ~10s.
Lineup Guide
Crowds concentrate hard at the pier and the line-up can get territorial on good days, so expect heavy traffic and brief windows of priority waves.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
