From level intermediate · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from intermediate level: shoulder-high waves (0.8–1.3 m), fairly forgiving, 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 S. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
