Hazards

ACCESS Narrow mountain road with passing places. Drive slowly. Not suitable for large vehicles.
RIP This sheltered cove rarely produces a meaningful rip — any drift is gentle and easily swum against.
LOCALS Tiny, hidden cove — very few regulars, relaxed and welcoming.
ROCKS Rocky shore at the edges of the cove. Sandy in the middle.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high rising · low tide exposes reef dangerously
Peak season Oct–Mar · Works on smaller swells when exposed spots are too big
Swell key E–SE swell picks up well · Sheltered from NW winds
Level Beginner · Small gentle waves · Great for longboard or learning
Dawn patrol Any time — uncrowded year round. Best morning light from the east.
