From level beginner · Combi 4/3Accessible from beginner level: hip-high waves (0.5–0.8 m), fairly forgiving, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

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