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 advanced · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from advanced level: shoulder-high waves (0.8–1.3 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

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