Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

When it works it prefers a long NNE-grounded swell with offshore winds from the southwest (spring season most reliable).

Tide influence is minor compared with swell and wind windows.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The line-up carries documented localism, occasional fights, and water-quality issues (industrial runoff and reports of sore eyes), plus some submerged rebar near the rocks-use caution entering/exiting.

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