Best on southwest offshore wind with east-northeast swell.

Lineup Guide

The reef works through the tide cycle, but it is still a proper reef with urchins, rips, rocks, crowds, and pollution to watch for.

Check the actual section before paddling out, because the bay can feel calm even when the reef is cooking.
