Waves more likely to be from local windswells than distant groundswells and the ideal wave direction is from the northeast. A reef breaks right. Sometimes crowded. Beware of rocks and coral.

Evan Jones from Japan

“Hits hard before and during typhoons. Outside of these conditions whatever the forecast predicts, you have to subtract 3-4 feet of surf due to its sheltered location from open ocean swell”
