Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

Best raw surf comes on southerly to southeast long-period swells with a northerly to northeast breeze for cleanup.

Mid-tide and the rising/falling transitions often produce the most organized peaks.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Sandbars shift rapidly around the pier and the exposed rock reef outside the sand can produce powerful, ledgey takeoffs and surprise rips - give the lineup space and watch for rocks and changing channels.

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