The Wave

South wind keeps The Pass clean, east to northeast swell is the main trigger, and medium to low tide is usually the cleaner half of the cycle.

Lineup Guide

Paid parking, showers, toilets, and the boat ramp are right there, and the lineup crowds fast when the point is on.

Bigger swell makes it more serious, so keep a close eye on the swell size, the crowd, and the rip flow before paddling out.
