Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best sessions come on long-period southwest swells with light east-to-ENE offshore winds.
Protected bay geometry keeps conditions cleaner on mid rising tides but can get choppy under strong west or NW wind.
Lineup Guide
The shoreline is a rocky reef with a narrow sandy channel - expect sharp lava, urchins and strong local currents near the channel that punish sloppy takeoffs.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
