Lineup Insights
The Wave
When it works, Pescadero prefers W-NW groundswells with light E-ESE winds (offshore) and cleans up on incoming to high tides.

The lineup alternates between wide sandbanks and exposed rock shelves - watch for strong rips and occasional rock-shelf takeoffs near the southern cove that raise consequence on heavier days.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
