Atmosphere
Gets good about 20 times a year, if you can go to other spots not so central do so, as the waves will be better and less crowded if it is good here. A lot of swell is blocked by the islands, but in winter swell is quite frequent and if the banks are good its worth a surf. Locals are normally friendly, but many at this spot are young'uns and expect a better convo at the better spots.
General
A lot of the time unsurfable, poor swell, if it gets big it gets instantly busy, if its going off, you have to almost apply for a wave. Have a look but dont expect anything spectactular.
