🌊

The Wave

Best days are long-period S/SE groundswells with northerly offshore breezes.

Mid-to-high tide widens the face but stronger, steeper walls form on mid tide for advanced riders.

Lineup Guide

The lineup sits tight to shallow reef and rocks - expect fast, committing drops and a high consequence shallow zone (watch for crowded heats and occasional shark reports).

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