Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best, clean sessions come on E-SE groundswells with offshore NW winds.

Mid incoming tides typically groom the bar while low tide exposes rocks and shorebreak.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Expect shifting peaks along the long sandbar and a submerged rock near the south end - watch for strong rips and limited parking during summer crowds.

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