Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best shape typically arrives on South-Southwest groundswells with light Easterly offshore flow.
Low-to-mid tides expose cleaner sandbars while high tides can bury the break and push stronger shoreward currents.
Lineup Guide
Tucked below high sandstone bluffs, Pomponio’s sandbar shifts with the Pomponio Creek outflow and can concentrate rips - expect variable peaks and occasional strong currents.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
