The best wind direction is from the south southeast with some shelter here from south southwest winds. Windswells and groundswells in equal measure and the optimum swell angle is from the southwest. There is no beach break and there are also left and right reef breaks (left is best). A remote wave spot that never gets crowded. Take care of rocks in the line up.
