Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best surf arrives on long-period NE swells with light SW offshore winds.
Mid-tide to rising-tide windows often produce the hollow, shore-pounding sets but also raise consequence and hold potential for strong shorebreak.
Lineup Guide
Heavy shorepounds form where a small cliff and a narrowing bay focus NE winter groundswells - waves can jack up fast and punish shallow landings, so bring a helmet for bodysurfing/boarding sessions.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
