Lineup Guide

Local access is a short walk from Paseo Del Mar and the lineup holds tight peaks near shallow reef - expect urchins, rocks and occasional localism that raise consequence on mistakes.

The break favors longer-period W-WNW swells with E-NE to SE winds cleaned up (offshore), and performs best around mid to high tide when the reef boxes up and produces hollow, fast lefthand walls.
