Lineup Insights
The Wave
The break prefers long-period N to NE groundswells with light S-SW to S winds (offshore) in winter mornings.
Mid to higher tides typically clean the reef but currents and tide timing strongly affect which of the Pavilions/Middles peaks will work.
Lineup Guide
Shallow reef channels, strong rip currents and frequent sea urchins make entries and recoveries technical and increase consequence at bigger sizes.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
