Lineup Insights

The Wave

The takeoff zone is rocky and sits under the Cliff Walk - expect heavy consequences on mistakes and fast crowds when the swell is on.

Ruggles favors long-period South to Southeast groundswells and cleans up with light Northwest offshore winds.

Mid to rising tides often produce the most reliable, long peeling rights.
