Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best raw setup is an E-ENE long-period groundswells with northwest to north winds for cleaner, more powerful rides.
Mid-tide incoming or mid/high windows usually shape the sandbars into peakier waves.
Lineup Guide
Several short rock jetties and the persistent river inlet create strong rips and shifting peaks-The Washout in particular produces faster, hollow faces and demands respect.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
