Lineup Insights

The Wave

Lineups near the inlet routinely tighten and produce punchy peaks - expect strong rips and higher shark sightings around tidal flows.

The spot tends to clean up on W-WNW offshore breezes.

Swell from NE-ENE (and sometimes SE on sandbar setups) with incoming to mid-high tide produces the most reliable, hollow peaks.
