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 beginner · Combi 3/2Accessible from beginner level: hip-high waves (0.4–0.6 m), fairly forgiving, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Small wave, short, weak swell (windswell) from the NNW. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Poor conditions: little interest, better to aim for another slot or spot.
