Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best windows are long-period N to NNW groundswell with light S-SE winds (offshore here).
Mid to rising tides generally tame the reef’s hollowness while very low tides expose rocks and increase consequence.
Lineup Guide
The lineup sits above a shallow, rocky reef with frequent rip channels and sharp urchin fields - expect technical takeoffs and limited safe egress.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
