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: head-high waves (1–1.6 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. Poor conditions: little interest, better to aim for another slot or spot.
