Gets good from waist-high to overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard when the swell arrives. This beach is suitable for all levels of surfers. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and usually has a local crew (6/10). The best winds are from the Southwest. The break works on all tides. The best swells come from the whole window East, North, Northeast, Southeast, and South.
