Located at the passage to Cooks
Bay. A very long and fast wave
FAVORABLE WINDS
If the wind is feeble, less than 5
knots, all wind directions are good for surfing. For other
conditions please find hereafter the wind directions with
specifications.
West to Southwest to South Southeast
West Northwest
- Water occasionally
agitated
Southeast
- calm early in the morning agitated
later
SWELLS - GOOD TO SURF
South Southeast
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 0.9. For the calculation of the wave
height, the coefficient "L" depends on the wavelength
of the swell. Use 1 for short swell, 1,5 medium swell
and 2 for long swell.
- Wave height between 1 and 4 m good
conditions.
North to North-Northeast
- Wave height in meters = (H1/3 in
meters) x L x 1
- Wave height between 1 and 4 m good
conditions.
- Comment : waves with a tendency to
close
UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS
Northeast to East swells create
closing waves.
Those swells are not good to surf and make this spot dangerous
if the waves are higher than halve of the height of the
good waves. Calculation of the height of the waves for
these conditions is : H = (H1/3) x
L x 0.7
