Lineup Insights
The Wave
When it works you want a W-SW long-period groundswel l with an offshore E-NE breeze.
Cleaner surf most often comes on rising to high tide during summer months.
Lineup Guide
Lineup dynamics are dominated by occasional submerged rocks and strong rip currents - treat takeoffs with extra caution and avoid the narrow channel near the Needles rock cluster.
Crowds are usually light but conditions are shifty, so expect short, punchy rides rather than long peeling lines.
