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.

🏄

Lineup Guide

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

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
