Lineup Insights

The Wave

The north and south jetties steer the peak locations day-to-day and create punchy rights off the south jetty.

Works best on W-WNW groundswells with light NE offshore in the morning, and the spot typically prefers mid to mid-high tide for cleaner, more connected peaks.

Lineup Guide

Expect heavy crowds near the harbor mouth and strong rip currents off the jetties.
