Description:
Great spot if it's close to you, with good accessibility, showers, and nearby bars. Parking available in front of the beach and anchor points for self-launching and landing.
  • For SW to W winds: Generally in autumn/winter with big waves. Suitable for experienced intermediates and above when the surf is big. Be cautious of rocks upwind and a significant riptide as outlined in the spot overview.
  • For N to NW winds: Beware of random riptides that vary depending on the day/season. Better for spring/summer. Exercise caution during high tide as waves break right on the sand. Suitable for intermediate riders in small surf and for experienced intermediates and above in big surf.
