Lineup Insights
The Wave
When it works it prefers long-period groundswells from the W-NW and light E-SE offshore winds.
The break is reported surfable across tide stages but expect punchy, ledgy closeouts on bigger swells.
Lineup Guide
The sandbar shifts frequently - peaks can jump tens of yards day-to-day and the shorebreak produces strong rips on bigger days.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
