From level expert · Boardshort / lycraAccessible from expert level: big, for experienced surfers waves (2.1–3.2 m) with a committing take-off, a long, powerful swell (12 s) that pushes hard, an unforgiving reef bottom, serious conditions (current/size). Below that, better to aim for more modest conditions.

Today's take

Big, powerful wave, nice long, clean swell from the S. Offshore wind that grooms and hollows the waves. Serious and potentially dangerous conditions: for experienced surfers only, or best skipped.
