Lineup Insights
The Wave
Sandbars shift with the Santa Clara River-fed shoaling, so the break most consistently fires on W-SW long-period swell with light NE offshore winds.
Expect usable waves at low-mid tides, and increased crowding when the harbor mouth panels up.
Lineup Guide
The narrow takeoff zone below the south jetty produces steep, sometimes hollow rights and strong, persistent rips - respect the local lineup and beware the hazard notices on the harbor maps.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
