Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

When it works the clearest, the peak often lines up near the 1st Street jetty on north-northeast groundswells with west-to-northwest offshore winds.

Low to incoming (rising) tide sharpens the A-frames while east/southeast windswells produce weaker, mushier peaks.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Expect heavy crowds, frequent lineup aggression, and shallow sandbars that make falloffs consequential and rips common.

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