Lineup Insights

The Wave

Best shape is with a longer-period W groundswells and light NE offshore breeze.

Mid tide (or slightly rising to mid) usually yields the most rideable lines while small onshore or strong southerly winds quickly ruin quality.

The rocky point produces fast, punchy right-handers and can be unforgiving on scrubby landings and during big sets - expect a busy lineup on good days.
