Best time
Summer months from May through September bring the gentlest waves and warmest water for swimming and snorkeling. Winter swells from November through March can increase wave size, though this beach stays calmer than neighboring surf breaks. Weekday mornings are quietest. The relaxed surf-town atmosphere is enjoyable year-round.
