Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best days arrive on long-period southwest swells with light northeast (offshore) winds.
The wave cleans up through mid-to-high rising tides but will also work on the mid falling run if swell is strong.
Lineup Guide
The steep stair access and shallow, jagged reef concentrate hazards - expect sharp rocks at the takeoff and limited exit options.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
