 Additional Information

Hardly anyone ever surfs this wave except a few locals but it gets classic under the right conditions. It breaks left and rights, a good split peak and does get super hollow and fairly long at its best. Switches on better in winter and like medium to large swell 4-7 to start doing showing the goods but surprises you often also throughout the year.

Atmosphere

On low tide, a surfer can walk in the waist-deep water to this break, which works on both low and high tide, depending on the swell size and direction. Waves here can be a good alternative to other spots around. Due to the amount of bait from the fishing activities in this area of Strand beach, the likelihood of sharks here are increased so watch out.
