From level expert · Combi 5/4 + chaussonsAccessible from expert level: overhead waves (1.3–2 m), enough volume to catch them, an onshore wind that chops up the surface, an unforgiving reef bottom. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

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