Lineup Insights

The Wave

WNW offshore is the clean side, southeast swell is the real trigger, and the surf is broad enough to treat as an all-tides check.

The beach sits 12 km south of town on a tar road, has a gentle slope and lifeguards, and still deserves shark awareness when the lineup gets busy.
