From level expert · Combi 4/3Accessible from expert level: head-high waves (1.1–1.7 m), enough volume to catch them, a long, powerful swell (18 s) that pushes hard, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Well-shaped wave, very long, powerful groundswell, typical of big storms from the NW. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Good conditions: worth the trip, suitable from expert level.
