Ruins surf FAQ

Is Ruins good for beginners?+

Ruins is a beach break, usually breaking in the 0.5–2.5m range, and how suitable it is for beginners really depends on the size and power on the day — not a fixed label. Set the level to Beginner above and WaveCheck flags the smaller, cleaner hours worth paddling out for.
