Lineup Insights
The Wave
Expect cleaner, rideable peaks on W-SW to W groundswell with light E-NE offshore winds.
The break can work across a range of tides but becomes most critical (and hollow) on larger swell when shorebreak and rips intensify.
Lineup Guide
The beach quickly strips sand and exposes lava near high-energy W-SW winter pulses, producing punchy shorebreaks that can injure unwary bodysurfers.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
