Why Riders Love It
There are good onshore sea breezes on warm summer days. The cleanest wind is in the middle of the beach. This beach only works when the wind is between SE and SW, anything else is very gusty. Suggest you avoid it if the wind is blowing from the W through NW, N, NE or East.
When to Go
Always wetsuit weather here. I suggest a 5/3mm. Boots are optional for warmth purposes as it is sandy with no rocks.
What to Expect
Small (0.5 - 1m) waves when its a Southwesterly wind, otherwise pretty flat.
