Hazards

CURRENT NE swell creates lateral currents near the port. Stay on sandy beach away from port walls.
RIP NE swell can push a current toward the port walls — stay well clear and exit on the open sandy beach side.
LOCALS Small, quiet local scene — a handful of regulars, easygoing about visitors.
BOATS Active fishing port — boat traffic. Stay clear of port entrance.
