It is a real cold-water surf school beach with a broad sandy line, harbour-groyned shelter, and enough north swell exposure to produce fun waves without trying to be a heavyweight break.

The Wave

The beach can be sheltered in a southeasterly onshore and is often friendlier to learners and local groms than the more exposed beaches nearby.

Low to mid tide is the useful window, and north to east-northeast swell with southwest offshore wind gives the cleaner shape.
