Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best oceanside setup is a long-period W groundswells with light E-ESE offshore breeze.
Mid-tide windows usually produce the cleanest, most exposed peaks.
Lineup Guide
Sharp reef takes make the peak unforgiving - expect quick, steep takeoffs and local rips near the reef margin.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
