Lineup Insights

The river mouth produces fast, peel-y peaks that can barrel on longer SE groundswell days and push strong currents near the channel - expect tricky takeoffs and occasional rips near the mouth.
The spot functions across tides but peak shape often follows sandbar position after storms.
