Lineup Insights

The Wave

This is a straightforward Wainui line: northwest offshore is the clean side, south-southeast swell is the trigger, and the best shape comes around low tide as the tide starts rising.

It can get quite busy, and the main thing to avoid is light onshore wind that ruins the quality.
