Long, clean left-hand waves with steady 15 to 25 knot southerly winds, best for intermediate to advanced wave sailors.
Long, clean left-hand waves run here, with consistent southerly winds of 15 to 25 knots. The wind is side-offshore and the water is cold, with rocky areas near the launch. Watch out for strong currents, gusts and offshore drift. Best suited for intermediate to advanced wave sailors. On the beach you will find a windsurf center, toilets, a beach bar, a restaurant, storage and a hotel with storage.
