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. Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Big wave, nice long, clean swell from the SW. Onshore wind that chops up the waves. Fair conditions, surfable but nothing special: fine for a practice session.
