Lineup Insights
The Wave
Expect best surf on long-period W-NW swells with southeast (≈120°) offshore winds.
The bank can hold across low-mid tides but becomes punchier on larger winter NW swells.
Lineup Guide
The shallow reef and uneven sand inside the bay concentrate peely peaks but also create strong rips and shallow takeoff zones - watch turtles and be mindful there are no lifeguards.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
