Lineup Insights

The Wave

Strong rips and occasional groynes near the jetties create punchy, position-dependent peaks-pick the sandbar away from stone groins to avoid heavy currents.

Works best on low-mid tides with long-period SE groundswells and a west or northwest wind for clean, offshore faces.

NE energy can also wrap in but tends to be weaker and more side-on.
