Read the break.
Character
01A powerful right that draws along a sloping reef, opening into several linked sections when swell angle and period align. The takeoff rewards commitment; the inside becomes progressively faster and shallower.
Best setup
02W–NW swell, a clean SE–NE wind and a low-to-mid tide form the classic window. More size or period adds current and makes the rock entry, exit and section choice increasingly consequential.
Lineup read
03Watch several complete sets before entering and identify the exit from land. Coxos has an experienced lineup, so positioning and wave selection matter just as much as the headline forecast score.
