From level advanced · Combi 3/2Accessible from advanced level: head-high waves (1.1–1.8 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, decent swell from the NW. Onshore wind that chops up the waves. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
