Description

Can be exceptionally good with the right wind direction. Picks up any swell direction. Its usually good with a S-E swell and a N-W offshore wind, but is rather fun when small at low tide. On a large winter swell at spring high tide, an exceptional shore dump is well visited by bodyboarders. Bodyboarders do however know their place when Onrus starts to crank. Its a very holiday orientated beach town, and localisim is still rather minimal, but a little respect for the locals is always appreciated. enjoy!!!
