Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

The break reads best to westerly groundswells with light E-ESE offshore winds.

Mid-rising tides often tidy the peaks, while clean windows tighten when easterly breeze stays weak.

Lineup Guide

Strong rip currents and occasional shark sightings change how the lineup organizes-pick peaks near the parking lot access for more consistent takeoffs.

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