Lineup Insights
The Wave
When the swell is a long-period southwest/S swell and a light north-northeast wind is blowing offshore the peak sharpens.
Mid-tide to slightly high tends to fill the takeoff zone best while lower tides can expose rocks and strengthen rips.
Lineup Guide
Razorblades sits close to Hollister Ranch shoreline hazards - expect strong rip currents, submerged rocks, limited public access and occasional localism (and shark sightings reported).
Don’t assume a soft exit.
