About this break
Steep drop into a near-vertical wall over reef and sand, rides 50-150 m. Crowded, strong localism, rocks on big days.
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.
