What to Expect
Shallow for about 80-100m from the beach. There are a few sandbars and if it`s blows a little bit more there will be a little shore break of about 0.5-1m, just 50m away from shore. If the wind blows heavy first from East but turns next day to West and in combination with the moon it could be that the water goes away and will be too shallow.
