Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

North-northeast to northeast wind is the clean lane, southwest swell is the main trigger, and lower to mid tide is best.

Expect a short walk from the Beacon access point, a crowd on good days, and a fast, punchy beachbreak rather than a mellow cruiser.

🏄

Lineup Guide
