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.
