Forecast
As of:
Lineup sits inside a small cove so peaks can swing rapidly with shifting sand and inlet flow.
Best, clean windows arrive on SW-WSW groundswells with light E-ENE winds (offshore for the cove) and mid to mid-high tides often produce the steeper, more rideable peaks.
Watch for basalt ledges at the edges and a narrow trail access that concentrates crowds.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
