Lineup Insights

The Wave

Best everyday windows are W-WNW-SW groundswells with light E-ESE offshore breezes.

Mid-to-high tide often tidies the banks and delivers more shape while low tides can expose faster, closeout sections.

Lineup Guide

The north end near Morro Rock produces the biggest, heaviest peaks and holds stronger rips and kelp patches - expect more power and crowding there.
