Lineup Insights

The Wave

Northeast offshore, southwest swell, and a mid-tide read usually give the sand-and-pebble face the most shape.

The beach sits at the end of a valley and has a rocky, pebbly surface with sand mixed in.

Use the beach car park and expect a proper surf beach atmosphere rather than an empty hidden cove.
