Lineup Insights
The Wave
When it fires it prefers long-period W-NW groundswells and cleans up with light E-ENE offshore breezes.
Mid-to - higher tide usually softens the takeoff but low-to-mid tides produce the hollower peaks.
Lineup Guide
The takeoff zone is tight and shallow - expect shallow-reef entries, sea urchins and a territorial local crowd around the main peak.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
