Lineup Insights

The Wave

When it fires it prefers long-period southwest groundswells cleaned by northwest offshore winds (NW ~300-320°).

Mid to low tides and an incoming or mid rising tide often groom the peaks for cleaner takeoffs.

Park rules protect tidepools and restrict shore approaches.

Lineup Guide

The lineup is effectively boat-only and sits among kelp, rocks and frequent urchin fields - expect limited beach access, strong rips, and careful boat pick-ups.
