Although the water tends to be choppy it generally is fairly flat in the left side of the beach. As the beach is in the outside of an estuary, there are strong currents when the tide goes down or up so watch out for your board if you loose it. These currents create some good ramps for jumping. Normal the water state is choppy unless there has been a down pressure which generates good waves (0.5-1.5 m) for some days. About 900m long beach. Narrow to the East and 100m wide to the West side.
