The Wave

Tide matters: mid-rising to mid-fall tends to keep the reef working, while extreme high or low can expose shallow rock.

Lineup Guide

The shoreline and newly formed lava/black-sand shelves produce unpredictable shallow sections and strong rip currents-approach with care and expect changing entry points as dredging and natural reshaping continue.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
