点评:Excellent wave for surfing when it's on. It's generally a more peeling wave than the east strand. But I think the curvature of the bay is probably the reason. Generally it seems to peel better slightly towards the harbour.
It can be a matter of luck really to catch it on a good day. But it's more exposed than the east strand, so it'll still have waves even if the swell is e.g 2-4ft windswell. As long as the direction is right. Bringing e.g an 8ft Funboard is a safe bet in the summer months.
There seems to be more rips forming towards the left side of the beach near the rocks. Can be very powerful so be careful. If swimming, stay between lifeguard flags.
The east strand by comparison can produce big barrelling waves, steeper sandy beach, particularly in Autumn/Winter. But the East is definitely not as good as the west in smaller swells.
I think the east is slightly safer for swimming on. But swimmers should be aware that both become dangerous for swimming when the waves become larger, the rips will pull with a lot more force in Larger waves. Treat both these strands with respect. Know your limits.
翻译:有浪时,这里是冲浪的绝佳地点。这里的波浪通常比东岸的波浪更陡峭。但我认为海湾的曲率可能是原因。通常,它似乎在靠近港口的地方会稍微好一些。
在天气好的时候,能赶上这里真的要看运气。但它比东岸更暴露,所以即使有 2-4 英尺高的风浪,这里仍然会有波浪。只要方向正确。在夏季,带上 8 英尺的 Funboard 是安全的选择。
在靠近岩石的海滩左侧似乎有更多的裂口。可能非常强大,所以要小心。如果游泳,请留在救生员旗帜之间。
相比之下,东岸可以产生大桶状波浪,沙滩更陡峭,尤其是在秋季/冬季。但在较小的海浪中,东岸肯定不如西岸好。
我认为东岸游泳稍微安全一些。但游泳者应该意识到,当波浪变大时,这两种方式都会对游泳造成危险,大浪中的激流会以更大的力量拉扯。请谨慎对待这两种方式。了解自己的极限。
