Lineup Insights

The Wave

When it works the break prefers W-SW groundswells with light E-NE offshore breezes on an incoming tide, and sessions often compress into brief summer-autumn windows.

Seals and occasional shark sightings make surf etiquette and vigilance important.

Lineup Guide

The lineup is shaped by the river’s movable sand bar and Goat Rock’s headland influence, so peaks can shift daily and rip currents are common.
