Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Browns favors longer-period NW groundswells with light E-SE offshore breezes.

Mid to high tide tidally fattens the inside peaks while very low water exposes reef and increases hazard.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The approach is rocky and the takeoff zone sits close to shallow reef - expect quick, high-consequence falls and intermittent rip lines that make exits tricky.

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