Best wind
Morning tow sessions before wind strengthened; broader forum reports afternoon side-offshore wind
Season
First-hand May tow trip; recurring season not established
Water
Long left-hand point wave; high tide can create fatter sections while larger swell or lower tide increases speed and power
Experience
Needs local verification
Hazards
Very strong current, long walk-back, powerful surf, side-offshore afternoon wind, crowded inside surf zone and tow-boat logistics; keep foil activity away from surfers.
Parking & access
Forum visitors used local boats for tow access; arrange a foil-capable operator and confirm price, schedule, pickup and return. Prone access was not viable in the reported strong current.
“Community-sourced location mention. Verify the exact launch, access, hazards, and current local rules before publishing or riding. Progression Project forum first-hand reports describe strong current, 15–25 minute walk-backs even for surfers, foil-capable tow boats, and afternoon side-offshore wind. Prone foiling was not practical on the reported trip. Progression Project forum first-hand May tow experience adds that mornings were used before wind strengthened; high tide produced fatter sections, while larger swell or lower tide demanded a smaller, more maneuverable foil.”
