Additional Information

Speak to locals. Give them compliments & you`re 'in'.Israeli`s like visiting surfers.Be patient & wait oustide for the big 'rogue' wave. Water crystal clean!

Atmosphere

I`ve surfed here since 1974 & consistently during 1998/99. Very consistent, very well formed waves. 'A-Frames' breaking left & right. If you`re a 'Kamikaze' drop in on it & free-fall when it humps-up at the north-end of the wave-breaker. Plenty of waves for all experiences of surfers. Water is so clean & 'sweet'. Don`t crap in the sea!Don`t leave any rubbish on the beach or cliff-to. And don`t forget to compliment the locals on their pristine surf-spot1

General

Classic! If you`re from the Ocean like me you`ll not need a wet-suit at all!
