Lineup Guide

The Washout sits at the island apex where shifting sandbars and rock groins create many wedgey peaks and frequent strong rips - expect crowded lineups and occasionally aggressive localism on bigger days.

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