Forecast reliability: HighWhy?

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 4/3Accessible from advanced level: shoulder-high waves (0.8–1.2 m), fairly forgiving, a long, powerful swell (14 s) that pushes hard, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Moderate wave, very long, powerful groundswell, typical of big storms from the SSW. Onshore wind that chops up the waves. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
