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 beginner · Combi 4/3Accessible from beginner level: hip-high waves (0.5–0.8 m), fairly forgiving, a long, powerful swell (18 s) that pushes hard. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Moderate wave, very long, powerful groundswell, typical of big storms from the WNW. Slightly side-offshore wind, fairly favourable. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
