Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best surf comes on northwest/west swells with east-southeast offshore breezes.
Mid tide (especially rising toward mid) produces the cleanest, punchiest peaks for intermediate-advanced shortboarders.
Lineup Guide
The lineup stays noticeably calmer than Scripps Pier but expect quick, late drops and shallow sections on bigger days - rips and occasional sharks are reported.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
