From level expert · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from expert level: head-high waves (1–1.6 m), enough volume to catch them, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Well-shaped wave, nice long, clean swell from the SSW. Onshore wind that chops up the waves. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
