The Wave

It typically fires on northwest groundswells with shorter periods that can funnel through the gap, and cleans up with winds from the southeast (offshore for the entrance).

Best behavior is around low to slack tide when peaks hold together.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The north and south jetties plus frequent dredging create a shifting, punchy peak that can produce hollow, freight-train lefts and unexpected current funnels - respect local boat traffic and the bar.

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