The Wave
Best practical windows are west to southwest groundswells with southeast winds (offshore), and the beach often prefers low to mid tides for cleaner, punchier peaks.
The sand spit that separates Big Lagoon from the open ocean creates shifting sandbars and strong rips - stay clear of close-in channels and the lagoon mouth during breaches.
Crowds are light but hazards (undertow/rips) demand respectful positioning.
