Very clean with plenty of wildlife. A mass area of beach with plenty of room on or off the water. Big shallow area. Nice waves possible. Perfect for learning.
Water rarely below 7°C, wetsuit advised although on very hot days it is not nescessary. Season good April to October. There is excellent surf most of the year. Rarely gets very cold, maximum temperature of air is around 23°C. Can rain a lot in winter. Average water temperature of 10°C.
