Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best on west to west-northwest offshore wind, with east-southeast swell the cleanest call and south swell helping it wake up.
Mid tide on the rise is the safest bet, but the slab can still show through other stages when the pulse is strong.
Lineup Guide
Access is a short coastal-walk descent with a jump off the rocks, and the main hazards are the reef, rocks, sharks, and the way the wave can throw harder than it first looks.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
