Lineup Insights
The Wave
Day-to-day it responds best to long-period WNW/NNW groundswells with light SE-to-E winds (offshore for a west-facing shelf).
Mid to slightly higher tides temper the shallow takeoff but low tide exposes more reef and increases consequence.
Lineup Guide
Sharp reef and a steep, slippery access path make entry/exit technical and urchin/sharp-coral hazards significant.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
