Lineup Insights

The Wave

Persistent rips and shifting sandbars mean peaks migrate along the wide lineup.

Works best on longer-period E/NE groundswells with a W-WSW breeze (offshore), and mid to mid-high tides usually groom the bars for cleaner, more powerful sections.

Lineup Guide

Watch the cams and pick the day’s best bar rather than one fixed takeoff.
