Lineup Insights
The Wave
The river mouth and migrating sandbars create strong rips and day-to-day peak relocation - expect the best takeoffs to appear and disappear as the river reshapes the bar.
Mid tide (especially rising into mid) tends to focus peaks and reduce closeout sand runs.
Lineup Guide
Seasonal bird-nesting closures and remote access mean sessions are quieter but bring variable hazards and limited parking.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
