Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

When it fires it prefers long-period southwest groundswells cleaned by northwest offshore winds (NW ~300-320°).

Mid to low tides and an incoming or mid rising tide often groom the peaks for cleaner takeoffs.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The lineup is effectively boat-only and sits among kelp, rocks and frequent urchin fields - expect limited beach access, strong rips, and careful boat pick-ups.

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