Local Tips
- •Peak quality depends on sandbar setup; scan multiple sections along the long beach and walk to the best-defined bank/peaks rather than committing to one access point.
- •Local surf operators use a wave-energy (kJ) scale: ~100–400 kJ is commonly used for lessons/beginners; 400–600 kJ is heavier and faster with more closeouts; 600+ kJ is described as board-breaking and not recommended for casual tourist surfing.
- •Beach safety guidance commonly emphasizes going earlier in the day; currents are noted to strengthen in the afternoon (often cited as after ~2 PM).
- •Use marked beach zones and flag warnings; conditions can be restricted or unsafe during the September–December storm/typhoon window.
