Lineup Insights
Lineup Guide
The tide is broadly usable, but the point cleans up best when it is not too low and the rock line is lined up.
The rocky entry and exit are awkward, the military-side setting keeps the approach constrained, and the reef/rock bottom can punish sloppy timing.
It works year-round, but the cleanest sessions are the ones where the point is lined up and the crowd is not already on it.
