Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best on west to southwest swell with east to northeast wind.
Low to mid tide is the safest read, but the beach still works on a rising or falling tide.
Lineup Guide
The lighthouse section has small sand parking and a short 5-15 minute walk, and when it is busy many surfers roll 2-3 km north for more room.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
