Nice waves up to 2.5m. There is a bay before, so the shore break is not so hard. Rocky beach, only for experts. Main wind direction is sideoffshore. On North winds not so easy to get back into the bay, better on NE winds. Best winds from November mid of June due to the NE trade winds. Steady 3-5 Beaufort. Usually the wind doesn't get stronger then 6 Beaufort, but therefore very steady like nowhere else in the world. Sunny weather. Average temperatures: December to February: water 22°C, air 21°C. March to May: water 23°C, air 22°C. June to August: water 27°C, air 26°C. September to November: water 26°C, air 25°C. Winter, shorty or 3mm top is all that is needed. Water: Smallwave, Mediumwave. Rider ability: Expert.
