Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

The break tends to fire on solid W-WNW groundswells with cleaner E-ESE offshore breezes.

Low, falling tide sharpens the peaks but also exposes rocks, and days when the bar lines up are rare and short-lived.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Logs, shifting sand and a shallow boulder shelf create punchy takeoffs and a strong rip around the mouth - expect consequential wipeouts and limited exit options.

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