Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best on east-northeast wind with southwest swell.
It is a lively place rather than a quiet one, so expect port traffic, people-watching, and a practical low-tide rock check before paddling out.
Lineup Guide
The beach sits north of the port, has multiple entry points and parking by the harbor, and exposes rocks at low tide with seaweed on the shoreline.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
