From level expert · Shorty 2 mmAccessible from expert level: head-high waves (0.9–1.5 m), enough volume to catch them, an unforgiving reef bottom. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Well-shaped wave, short, weak swell (windswell) from the SSW. Cross-shore wind that ruffles the surface a little. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
