Why Riders Love It
East wind is very constant. West wind is not so constant, but quite often.
When to Go
A wetsuit is necessary nearly all over the year. The water is between 5-20°C (spring to summer), air temperature is in the average 18°C (in summer) and can go up to 30°C. If you have the adequate wetsuit you can surf from April to November. Off-season is possible but very cold.
What to Expect
When it is windy there is a 1-2m wave. The waves are not really clean and most of the times choppy, but you can pretty good rip them, anyway. East wind makes a bigger wave than West wind. Northeast makes the biggest waves. Take care, every 200m is a mole, but you can ride behind them. About 20m shallow. Flat water between the moles. At about 200m from shore there is a shallow sandbar about 50m wide.
