From level advanced · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from advanced level: shoulder-high waves (0.7–1.1 m), fairly forgiving, an onshore wind that chops up the surface, an unforgiving reef bottom. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Moderate wave, decent swell from the SW. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
