Lineup Insights

The Wave

Crowding peaks on weekends and big SW/WNW pulses.

Expect the best shape on medium tides with long-period SW-W swells and light E-NE offshore winds for cleaner, peaky rights and lefts.

Lineup Guide

The lineup stacks up fast on solid southwest groundswells and watch for sideways currents that can sweep surfers toward the pier pilings.
