Why Riders Love It
Usually pretty good.
When to Go
During the summer the air temperature is usually 20°C but look out for the rain. During the winter it is usually a lot colder than that. I would definably recommend a full 5mm steamer with gloves and booties if you were planning to stay out for any amount of time. There is good kiting there whenever the wind is good. It is surf able anytime in or out of season just depends on the wind direction.
What to Expect
The it is a slow shelving beach so even when the tide is in you are only in about max 1 meter of water for about 30 meters out to sea. The tide retreats back about 60 meters when it is at the lowest. The waves are not usually that big unless there is some seriously wind beating onshore. Otherwise it's usually a bit choppy but nothing to worry about.
