Lineup Insights
The Wave
The pier and shifting sandbars concentrate peaks near the downtown access so crowds and best peaks cluster there.
Works best on E to SE long-period swell with west or NW offshore winds - low-to-mid incoming (rising) tides often groom the sandbar into longer lefts and rights.
Lineup Guide
Watch for strong, changeable rips around the pier.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
