The beach is sandy and has limited facilities, so it’s a good idea to come prepared. While not the best surf in the area, it still draws a crowd due to its proximity to the city.

The surf here is mostly average, with reliable waves during mid to high tide. The best conditions usually come with a northwest swell. You can expect waves that handle sizes around 3 ft (approximately 0.9 meters) and break both left and right. The wind from the south is preferable to get the best out of the waves.
