Right and lefthander in the middle of the bay - starts working even on smaller swells. Preferably no winds or offshore from E/SE.
Righthander on the right side of the bay close to the rocks - gets heavy on big swells >1,8meters. Lots of power with great walls and speedy sections.
For the past years the road down to the beach got worse and worse.
