Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best surf windows are long-period NE groundswells with light southerly winds.
Mid to mid-high tides usually groom the takeoff, while low water exposes more reef hazards.
Lineup Guide
Reef holds and sharp channels mean serious consequences for poor falls - expect urchins, rocks and occasional shark sightings and an intermittent local lineup.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
