Choose the right wave
Most problems start before the water: wrong spot, wrong level, wrong crowd, wrong timing. Pick the easiest good wave for the group, not the most famous one.
Respect the lineup
Wait your turn, do not drop in, do not snake, and listen to local instruction. If you do not understand the peak, séjour wide and observe before paddling into the main zone.
Know when to step back
Vent, marée, crowd or fear can turn a session into a bad product. A safer alternative spot is not a failure; it is good planification.
Notes de planification locale
- Débutants should avoid heavy pointbreaks.
- Mixed groups need one plan for the weakest confident surfer, not the strongest.
- Forecast tools help, but local judgement still matters.
Erreurs courantes à éviter
- Following friends into a wave beyond your level.
- Ignoring rocks/exits because the wave looks good.
- Treating a crowded lineup like a lesson zone.
