The Wave

Expect the spot to clean up for long-period SE/SEbE groundswells and when west winds are offshore.

Low-to-rising tide typically sharpens shape while strong onshore/easterly flow flattens it.

Lineup Guide

The jetties and shifting sandbars focus peaks and can create strong rip channels - watch the lineup and pick peaks near the jetty for faster rights.

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