Because this beach is so big we will update with different maps each time we surf a different sand bar there for you.
Looking at a bathymetric map the ocean floor drops away very evenly & very slowly. This means long period swells out of the mid pacific drag from a long way out and lose power on their way to the beach. Short period swells however don't have much depth to them and are less effected. As with all of this coast from Taito to Ioka its a flat sandy bottom so you need to hunt for sand bars.
