During summer the SE wind blows constantly and is cross/cross on shore, meaning for surf one needs to get out at dawn. Waves tend to be smaller, making the afternoons great for kite surfing and wind surfing. In winter there is less wind and bigger swells, though if the swell is too big it tends to get very messy and many outer reefs break. occasionally there is a strong enough NW wind for down the line sailing. the wave rarely gets very good and is often crowded. It is often soft and playful making it a great beginner spot.

As I live nearby, I can definitely say that this place is great all the year around. The beach on the spot is sandy with some rocks. Speaking about water, it's pretty clear. I surf there on my weekends, so I can state that the best tide is high and that waves' usual height is 3 meters, however, it could be from 1 to 5 meters. The best swell directions are E, SE, S, SW, W. On weekends or holidays there are a lot of people around, so keep that in mind. All the needed facilities and services could be found in the nearby town, including renting gear or accommodation.
