Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northeast. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights and in addition there are both left and right reef breaks.. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
