Lineup Guide

Use the Swansea Heads shoreline as a broad coastal check: the left-hand reef is the target, rips and rocks are the main hazard, and crowds can make the spot feel smaller on good days.

Tide is secondary here; focus on whether the reef is holding shape and whether west wind has cleaned the face.
