Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct.
Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them. The months riders name are all there is.
riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- Strong lateral tidal currents on the outgoing tide
- Rapidly shifting sandbars and changing beach contours
- Gusty, unpredictable wind funnelled off the cliffs
- Rip currents (also flagged for surfing)
- Very crowded on good-wind weekends
- High tide severely limits usable beach space
