Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best consistency comes from W-NW swells with light E winds for offshore cleaning.
Tides shift the reef exposure so incoming to high usually favors the point while mid to high tides fill the beach breaks.
Lineup Guide
The north end sits against a rocky bluff and point that produces a powerful, right-hand reef peel while the south beach breaks more forgivingly but shifts with the creek and seasonal sand.
Expect rips, rocks and occasional shark notices, and weekend crowds near good peaks.
