Lineup Insights

The Wave

Trails often sits quiet while nearby Trestles crowds swell, but the lineup can punchy when a long-period SSW pulse combines with a WNW background swell.

Best windows are mid-to-high tides with long-period S/SSW energy and light E-NE winds for clean faces.

WNW components add extra power but can make sections fickle.

Lineup Guide

Watch for occasional rocky patches and reported juvenile white sharks near the sandbars.
