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 expert · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from expert level: overhead waves (1.3–2 m), enough volume to catch them, an onshore wind that chops up the surface. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Big 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.
