Spot info

Good thermal winds during the warmer season. Only during the Monsoon season that it is really calm. The monsoons run from early june until late July. Before and after those seasons are the best consistant winds. During the winter the winds are generally offshore and the water is WAY to cold.

Great spot in the southerlies because of the large rock wall to the south that keeps the chop at bay while allowing the swell to roll on in.

Big wide beaches and very friendly local crew.
