Spot intelligence.

T-Street is a permanent reef system rather than a generic beach break. South swell favours the left, winter energy can build longer rights, and the City records lower water as the faster, more responsive window. Lifeguard restrictions always override the forecast.

Character

01

T-Street is defined by lefts on south swell · rights on winter west-to-northwest swell over permanent hard-bottom reef with sand pockets. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.

Best setup

02

S–SW and W–NW swell, e–ne offshore · early and low to mid tide form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.6–2.4 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

Lineup read

03

Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to shallow reef and rock, collapsing shorebreak, crowded takeoff. Local signs and advice always take priority.
