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 · Combi 3/2Accessible from advanced level: hip-high waves (0.5–0.7 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

Small wave, short, weak swell (windswell) from the WNW. Side-onshore wind that degrades the quality. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
