🌊

The Wave

The river mouth shapes peaky lefts and rights on S-SSW long-period swell.

Cleanest when NE offshore winds coincide with a low or falling tide.

🏄

Lineup Guide

A 30-minute walk from the nearest parking keeps this lineup quieter but come prepared for localism, scattered rocks and occasional pollution/runoff near the mouth.

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