Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best everyday windows are W-WNW-SW groundswells with light E-ESE offshore breezes.

Mid-to-high tide often tidies the banks and delivers more shape while low tides can expose faster, closeout sections.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The north end near Morro Rock produces the biggest, heaviest peaks and holds stronger rips and kelp patches - expect more power and crowding there.

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