Flat water in the shallow areas, but nice, medium waves when it gets a bit deeper. Amazing wave session with ESE wind possible, but very rare.

Works best in East and North winds, which are not as often as westerlies, which don't work here. It's best with ESE for an amazing wave session but you may get a little frustrated waiting for it.
