Lineup Insights
The Wave
Northwest wind is the clean side, southwest swell is the main trigger, and the reef is serious enough that urchins, rocks, and undertow matter as much as the lineup itself and the tide is best treated as a broad working window rather than a hard lock.
Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.
Lineup Guide
Ask locals, drive past the tunnel, and expect a short but exposed approach from the road.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
