The Wave

The break favors long-period south to southwest groundswells and cleans up with northeast offshore winds.

It holds across most tide stages but becomes more punchy on bigger swells and mid-to-high tides.

Lineup Guide

The final access road is rough and the lineup feels remote - expect fewer crowds but limited exit options and sharp reef.

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