Lineup Guide

Shoreline at Barbers Point funnels southerly energy into fast, shallow reef peaks-takeoffs are steep and hold real consequence.

When it works it's typically on a south or SSW groundswell with light northerly offshore winds and mid to high tide to soften the reef takeoff.

Occasional shark sightings have been reported historically.
