Check water conditions first
Water levels and current strength change significantly with rainfall, sometimes creating strong currents or leaving little beach exposed.
Arrive mid-week for calm
Weekdays are quieter with fewer crowds and better office hours, while weekends attract more families and occasional tensions.
Plan for a steep hill
Everything brought to the water must be carried back up, making day packs and light gear important considerations.
