🌊

The Wave

Best shape comes from S-SSW groundswells with light N to NE offshore winds.

Mid to high tides generally mellow the face for longboard trim while lower tides expose cobbles and shorten rides.

Lineup Guide

The lineup is relentlessly crowded and punctuated by territorial localism and cobble/reef hazards - expect sharp bottoms and urchins near the point.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
