From level intermediate · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from intermediate level: shoulder-high waves (0.9–1.4 m), enough volume to catch them, a long, powerful swell (12 s) that pushes hard, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

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