Additional Information

A pretty short but often heavy wave. Quite timid & fun when small but can get intense with good tube rides when it gets bigger. Both rights & lefts depending on the tide and current layout of the sandbanks that shift regularly. Best on a clean 3-6ft predicted swell. The water is very deep right up to the beach which means swells don't get moderated much before they break. Gets very good.
