Lineup Insights
The Wave
Works best on long-period southwest swell with north-northeast winds for clean offshore lines.
Mid-tide rising often firms up peaks while very low or very high tides tend to close sections.
Lineup Guide
The approach (boat or long hike) and nearby rocky bottom keep crowds low but raise consequence - expect limited exit options and strong rips at times.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
