Lineup Insights
The Wave
When it fires the bay prefers long-period SE energy with light W-WNW offshore.
Cleaner windows are typically mid to high tide while onshore pulses bring short, wind-driven bumpiness and stronger local windswells.
Lineup Guide
The approach is rough - expect uneven reef, sharp rock and urchin fields and limited, steep access that raises the consequence of falls.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
