beginners wave, soft and sloppy, fun though. Better at high tide because of the shallow water.

atmoshere usually cool, too crowded at week-end, or on wednesday when schools are in the water.
General
a nice wave to learn, a bit of pollution in the water though. if your toes touch the ground, take care of urchins.
