Board & level fit
Longboard · high confidence
Long, soft walls reward trimming and noseriding.
Mid Length · high confidence
Gradual takeoffs suit cruising and cutbacks.
Shortboard · medium confidence
More push on bigger days can suit a cruisy shortboard.
Beginner · medium confidence
Small clean days can work for progressing beginners.
Boulders and size change the difficulty.
Intermediate · high confidence
The usual recommendation once the point has more push.
Advanced · medium confidence
More size and low-tide rocks raise the consequence.
This is evidence-led discovery guidance, not a safety rating. Swell, tide, wind, reef depth, and section choice can change the fit.
