Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best windows are W-WSW groundswells with light E/NE offshore.

Low to mid tides (falling-to-stable) typically produce the cleanest, hollower lefts while onshore W winds and high tide flatten the shape.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The takeoff zone sits over jagged reef and submerged rocks - expect consequential wipeouts and strong localism around the peak, and wear booties when scrambling in.

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