Lineup Guide
All tides are workable because the beach is driven by bar and rip shape rather than a narrow tide gate.
Access is by boat or 4WD on the sandy tracks and beach, there are no current beach services, and the main hazards are topographic rips, sharks, rocks, and a sparse lineup when it is actually breaking.
