Lineup Insights

🌊

The Wave

When a long-period W-WNW swell lines up with light E-to-NE onshores (wind FROM the east is typically offshore here) the jetty and adjacent bars give the cleanest, punchiest peaks.

Mid to high tides broaden the peel while very low tides expose sandbanks and stronger rips.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The jetty produces a consistent rip and peaky takeoff zone - watch the rip for easy exit/entries and beware shifting sand around the jetty head which can pin surfers onto shallow runs.

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