The break offers both left and right-hand waves breaking over a sandy and rocky bottom, with wave heights typically ranging from 2 to 4 meters and wave lengths between 50 and 150 meters.

The best surf conditions usually occur during medium to high tides, with optimal swell coming from the south to west and winds blowing from the northeast to southeast.
