Hazards

REEF Reef bottom handles up to six feet of swell at a max eight-second period — longer-period swells tend to close out the bay.
RIP A channel runs along the marina jetty — use it to get out, but watch for boat traffic near the entrance.
LOCALS Home break of the Lebanese Surfing Federation — a proud, welcoming crew for a respectful visitor.
SWELL LIMIT Best on W/NW swell arriving from 240–290°, up to six feet at eight seconds — check the period before the drive.
