Lineup Insights

Lineup Guide

Watch the entry-steep dirt path and flat-rock shore make exits slippery and the reef poses real rock hazards on heavy sets.

Little Reef (north) and Boneyards (south) fire tighter, sometimes hollow barrels.

Works best on W-NW groundswells with light E-SE winds and mid-to-high rising or falling tides - check for local rip sets and crowding on clean days.

Middles is the main line with more right-handers.
