Wind & conditions

Trade winds build through the day, peaking mid-afternoon with warm water and side-on conditions on the main bay. Swell and reef shape the wave scene; inside sections can be flatter for freeride.

What to expect

Classic easterly trades — plan sessions after wind fills in
Reef breaks nearby; bay chop increases when trades ramp
Hurricane season awareness (roughly Jun–Nov) — check forecasts

Rules & hazards

Hazards

Shallow reef, sea urchins, and shorebreak on swell days
