The wave type is point-break and waves have awesome right direction. The bottom of the sea features flat rocks. On normal days the length of waves ranges between 50 and 150 m/164 and 492 ft and on good days it reaches 300 m/984.3 ft.
The swell usually starts working at 1.5 – 2 m/5 – 6 ft and holds up to 5+ m/16+ ft. The spot works perfectly on low and mid tides and the best tide movement is falling tide. The beach is usually empty on week days and you see a few surfers riding the waves only at weekends.
