The bay is reef coral with very shallow water so you will need to walk out but the break is just outside. The wave quality is normal with a left direction and fun power. Swell size starts working at 1.0 m-1.5 m / 3 ft-5 ft and holds up to 2.5 m+ / 8 ft+ and its direction is north, north-east and north-west.

Because of its easy going waves during weekends, there are just a few surfers around but be careful of urchins, rip currents and rocks.
