Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best shape comes on long-period SE/S swells.

West-NW winds clean the faces and low-mid tides tend to favour more defined peaks.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The long, shallow sandbank can spit quick peaks and strong rips - expect shifting peaks and a handful of focused current lines near the lifeguard towers.

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