From level advanced · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from advanced level: shoulder-high waves (0.9–1.3 m), fairly forgiving, a long, powerful swell (13 s) that pushes hard, 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. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
