Wind, water and the year
What has to line up
Coxos clears 55 out of 100 September to May. A wave needs swell from the right sector, wind off the land and the tide in its window — all three, on the same morning.

Stated plainly
What can hurt you here
- Shallow reef. The wave breaks in water you can stand in, over something that will cut you.
- Rocks in the line-up. There are places you cannot fall.
- Strong rips. Know where the channel is before you paddle out.
- A local pecking order. Wait your turn and do not drop in.
- Cold water. Bring the right rubber or you will not last an hour.
