Lineup Insights

Lineup Guide

Access the cape from North Point Beach or the eastern beach; 4WD is strongly recommended.

South-southwest wind is the clean offshore lane, east swell is the trigger, and all tides work, though low water can sharpen the sand and fuller water can get more current-prone.

Expect rips, sharks, jellyfish, and an often-crowded lineup when it is on.
