Lineup Insights
The Wave
Works most reliably on long-period south to southeast groundswells with north-northeast offshore winds.
Mid-to-high tide and a bit of rising water usually give the cleanest, punchiest peaks, but the lineup is fickle and can be crowded when it fires.
Lineup Guide
Rocky bottom, sea urchins and strong localism make consequences real-tread carefully on entry and exits.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
