Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best setup is a long-period NW-W groundswell with light SE offshore winds.
The wave usually reads better on mid-to-low tides and often improves on a falling-to-rising midtide window.
Lineup Guide
Rocky reef and shallow takeoff mean serious consequence - expect fast bowls, ledgy takeoffs, and scratched boards if you miss your takeoff.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
