Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best swell windows are W-NW long-period groundswells with light E-NE offshore flow.
The beach often works chest-to-head high on a rising tide and flattens rapidly on a strong ebb.
Lineup Guide
Sharp currents and scattered submerged rock near the river mouth shape the lineup and can make paddle-outs punchy on bigger days.
