Beach
is fairly exposed to most northerly and westerly swells, it tends
to offer the best waves at low - mid tide.
In a South-Easterly wind it can offer fast hollow waves. Crowds
are not too much of a problem due to the length of the beach and
the number of peaks.
With miles of golden sands the beach is excellent place to come
for the day with the family. During
the summer it is worth noting that there could be rip currents,
but the beach is lifeguarded.
