Hazards

SANDBAR Shifting sandy beach break — banks move with each S/SW swell event, walk the beach to find the peak.
RIP S/SW and W windswell builds rips through the sandbar troughs on bigger days.
ISOLATED Remote southern location, no lifeguard on most stretches — bring water and check conditions before committing.
OFFSHORE WIND Best with E wind blowing offshore off this south-facing stretch of coast.

Local knowledge

Peak season Nov–Mar · S/SW and W windswell
Swell key S/SW and W windswell · Shifting sandy beach break peaks
