- Rips / undertow
Reef at north end at high tide has fast lefts and rights, not for beginners. Various peaks up and down beach from mid-tide up. Reef/beach at south end less crowded. Not as good as Fistral, but close on good days.
Atmosphere
Mellow out of season, can be a hassle on summer weekends.
General
Try surfing the reefs either side of the main beach when it is crowded, at the very northen end of beach sand is exposed at low tide - care full of the rip.
