Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Expect best windows on oblique SW or NW groundswells with light E winds.

Medium to low tides often groom the peak while very low tides expose reef sections and increase hazard.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The shallow rock reef, blunt sandstone ledges and crowded takeoff zone create high-consequence bail hazards-scraped shins and board damage are common, so spread out and plan your exit.

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