From level expert · Combi 5/4 + chaussonsAccessible from expert level: head-high waves (1.2–1.9 m), enough volume to catch them, an unforgiving reef bottom. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Well-shaped wave, nice long, clean swell from the WSW. Cross-shore wind that ruffles the surface a little. Good conditions: worth the trip, suitable from expert level.
