Check the tide window
Mid to rising tides typically give cleaner, softer beginner waves here; ask your instructor which slot they prefer for the day.
Bring reef booties or check the bottom
Some beginner spots have shallow sandbars or small reef patches — booties protect toes and improve board footing.

Long exposure on reflective water speeds sunburn; high‑SPF waterproof sunscreen and a rashguard help for full sessions.
