The Wave

When a long-period Southeast swell arrives with a WNW light offshore breeze the islands light up (all tides work, rising/falling can focus peaks).

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

Lineup Guide

Shallow, shifting sandbars and strong rips make paddle-outs and sit spots more consequential than at an ordinary beach - expect variable peaks and hidden channels.

Access is boat or float-plane only and crowds are negligible.
