Lineup Insights

The Wave

The spot favors W-SW to W groundswells with light N-NW/NNW offshore breezes.

It often cleans up on an incoming-to-high tide for reefy sections while some sandier peaks still pop around low.

Lineup Guide

Strong, recurring rips and scattered offshore rocks make loose paddling and exit choices the primary local hazards - keep pockets and exits in mind.
