From level intermediate · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from intermediate level: hip-high waves (0.6–0.9 m), fairly forgiving, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Moderate wave, decent swell from the WNW. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
