Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

The lineup is usually light but tightens on clean mid-tide northeast groundswell days.

Expect best shape on longer-period NE swells with northwest offshore breezes around mid tide.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Strong rips and an old rusty wreck near the jetty demand careful entry and local awareness.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
