In addition, the best tide movement is rising tide and the ideal tide position is mid and high tide.The optimum period for waves is winter. In summer, the wind blows offshore at 8%, in autumn the wind blows at 23%, in winter at 33% and in spring at 11%. The surf site is suitable for more experienced surfers, due to the long and heavy wave. Last but not least, to reach the spot, it is advisable to rent a boat, as the area here is , indeed, very sharky. Note: be careful of sharks, rips and rocks.
