The Wave

Best surfing arrives on long-period NE groundswells with south-southwest (SSW) offshore flow.

The break works across most tides but peaks on a mid to rising tide when the reef/sandbars line up.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The steep trail and rugged access drastically limit crowds but also mean emergency help is far - expect strong rip channels and occasional shark sightings.

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