The Wave
Works best on clean S-SSW swells with light or northerly offshore winds.
Mid-to-high tide or a rising tide generally improves shape and hold.

Lineup Guide
Access is awkward - either military-base permission, a long walk along the Reef Runway or a small surf taxi.
Expect sparse lineups but real hazard exposure to urchins, sharp reef and occasional tiger-shark reports.
