Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best windows are medium-to-long period WNW-S swells with light E-NE morning offshore.

Mid-to-high tide helps cover shallow reef but watch the afternoon seabreeze swing onshore.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The lineup is compact and heats up quickly - expect heavy crowds, a tense local vibe, and reef/urchin hazards that make mistakes costly.

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