The Wave

When a NE-E long-period swell lines up the inlet mouth the mid-channel breaks cleanest.

Light W-WNW winds (offshore) or WSW breezes give the best shape, and the southern shoulder softens into longboard-friendly walls at most tides.

Lineup Guide

Central channel peaks are the main prize but expect strong tidal sweep and shifting sandbars-also be shark - aware and plan exits accordingly.

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