Lineup Insights
The Wave
Surf tends to clean up on true north-northeast long-period swells with light south-southwest winds.
Mid to high tide smooths the channel but low tide exposes coral ledges and makes peaks punchier.
Lineup Guide

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