The Wave

Northeast is the clean offshore lane, big south to south-southeast swell is the trigger, and low tide helps the sandbar and inside section line up.

Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.

Strong current, a long paddle back against the flow, rocks, rips, sharks, and a competitive lineup are all part of the check.
