Lineup Insights
Lineup Guide
The north end sits against a rocky bluff and point that produces a powerful, right-hand reef peel while the south beach breaks more forgivingly but shifts with the creek and seasonal sand.
Tides shift the reef exposure so incoming to high usually favors the point while mid to high tides fill the beach breaks.
