Hand-calibrated spot: orientation, ideal swell, tide and hazards documented. The rating still comes from a global wave model — always check on site. How we compute ratings →

From level advanced · Combi 3/2Accessible from advanced level: hip-high waves (0.5–0.8 m), fairly forgiving, an onshore wind that chops up the surface, an unforgiving reef bottom. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Moderate wave, short, weak swell (windswell) from the WNW. Onshore wind that chops up the waves. Poor conditions: little interest, better to aim for another slot or spot.
