Check tides before you go
High tide usually softens the beach entry and covers sharp reef; low tide exposes rocks—plan sessions accordingly.
Bring reef shoes for rocky entries
Many entry points have submerged rock; reef shoes protect feet and improve stability when walking out to waves.
Rinse gear after use
Use on-site showers to remove salt; fresh water prevents neoprene and board wear and keeps lockers hygienic.
Ask staff about current conditions
Staff can point out the safest entry, local rip trends and which board suits your skill and the day’s swell.
