Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best shape comes on long-period S-SW/WSW groundswells with light ENE/NE offshore breezes.
The break can work across a range of tides but often cleans up and wedges more at lower to mid tides.
Lineup Guide
The lineup can be fickle and crowded - strong rip channels and occasional urchin-strewn rock shelves concentrate takeoffs near the peaks.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
