- Good for a relaxed session when nearby bigger spots are too heavy
- Often affected by Atlantic swell + local wind, so conditions can change quickly
Wave character

- On larger swells, it can become fast and punchy, with currents to watch
Best conditions

- Wind: E / NE offshore winds are usually cleaner
- Tide: Often depends on the sandbars, but mid tide is commonly a good bet for beachbreaks
