As of:
Tide curve (forecast)
1.0 ftfalling
The jetties focus and steepen south-origin swells into quick, hollow right-hand peaks and create strong localized rips and a few awkward sand-sucking drop-ins near the rocks.
Expect the best shape on low to falling tide with long-period S-SW swells and north-to-northeast winds.
Conversely, on strong onshores the sandbars flatten and the lineup gets crowded fast.
