The spot is often crowded, especially during the summer months, but it provides plenty of opportunities for riders of various skill levels.

The surf at Tapia usually holds up well with optimal swell directions coming from the Northwest. The best waves work with swells from the West and North, handling sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter).
