Lineup Insights
Lineup Guide
The lineup is family - heavy and can be fragmented by a small jetty/harbor entrance and occasional rocky reef - watch for urchins and local traffic near the boat ramps.
Aim for mid-tide windows when the reef gets a bit more shape and avoid the lowest tides when rocks/urchins are exposed.
