Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Day-to-day the wave quality improves on longer-period W-WNW groundswells with light N-NE offshore breezes.

Northwest or onshore winds quickly junk the peaks, and mid-tide to slightly rising tides commonly give the most rideable peaks.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The lineup is shaped by the creek mouth and nearby bluffs - expect shifting sandbars and a localized current near the Arroyo Burro outflow that can pull inexperienced paddlers wide.

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