Lineup Guide

The outer reef at the north end holds the main lineup and can throw steeper, more powerful takeoffs while the inner lagoon and sandward breaks stay forgiving for lessons.

Watch for urchins on entries and a strong rip that can run toward the rocky northern shoreline.

Best practical setup is a west-to-WNW groundswells with light E-SE winds (cleaner on true east), and the spot functions across tides though the outer reef steepens on bigger swell.
