Lineup Insights

The Wave

Best days are with an E-SE long-period swell and light W offshore breeze.

The bank favours low-to-mid falling tides for cleaner, hollower peaks.

Sharks, debris and localism are commonly reported.

Lineup Guide

Shallow sandbars and strong rip channels mean fast, punchy takeoffs and a high chance of tricky paddles or boat launches.
