Lineup Insights
The Wave
High tide is the main takeoff for the dike-side right, while the pass wave can work from low to mid tide.
Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.
Lineup Guide
Expect a long paddle, strong current around the bar, and a spot that only really lights up when the swell is big enough to make the bay section stand up.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
