From level expert · Combi 5/4 + chaussonsAccessible from expert level: overhead waves (1.3–2 m), enough volume to catch them, an unforgiving reef bottom. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Big wave, decent swell from the WSW. Cross-shore wind that ruffles the surface a little. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
