Lineup Insights

The Wave

The Point has a very small, rocky takeoff area and low-tide inside rocks - expect tight positioning and localism when it’s firing.

Best windows are S-SW long-period swell with E-SE (ESE) light winds and mid-to-high tides.

West swells light up the Gravels right but can close out the Point.
