Lineup Insights

The Wave

The break prefers long-period southwest-to-west groundswells with light east winds (offshore) and tends to clean up on an incoming tide that firms the sandbar into hollow rights.

Expect uncrowded but consequential waves - best for experienced, well-positioned surfers.

Lineup Guide

Sharks and seals concentrate here during the salmon run and strong rip currents can form off the river channel, so treat the lineup with heightened caution.
