Forecast reliability: HighWhy?

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 intermediate · Combi 3/2Accessible from intermediate level: shoulder-high waves (0.8–1.2 m), fairly forgiving, a long, powerful swell (13 s) that pushes hard, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Moderate 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.
