About this break

Does not work often. Summer, September most consistent. Most exposed south-coast spot.

Swell direction is where the swell comes from (0° north, 90° east). The score for each hour multiplies four factors: how much swell energy falls inside the break's window, wave period, wind quality for this coast and how well the tide matches the break.
