Lineup Insights

The Wave

Best raw conditions are long-period SE groundswells or E windswell with a NW wind for offshore.

The spot handles Low-Mid-High tides but sandbars can favor a mid-tide bank on good swell days.

Shorebreak and sandbars shift frequently around the pier, producing occasional closeouts and a lively, changeable lineup.

Lineup Guide

Lifeguards and summer pier rules affect access.
