Lineup Insights
Lineup Guide
The nearshore reef (Yamato/Jap Rock) sits a few meters offshore and creates rocky sand traps and strong local currents - expect shallow rock exposure at lower tides and limited beach access via a 10-30 minute walk from Spanish River Park.
Best windows are low-mid tides on E/NE/N swells, but takeoffs become consequential when the reef shoals at lower water.
