Hash Point is the point at the top of the village, walkable from most of the camps, and the default local break. It is sheltered, and that one word decides everything else about it.
January, its best month, reads like this: twelve clean days out of thirty, fourteen too small, four blown out. Where the exposed points wait for the wind to behave, Hash Point waits for swell to arrive at all. It is almost never blown out, which is the other side of the same shelter: on the stormy days, this is where something surfable is found.
It works best around low tide with a northeasterly offshore, and it fills up for the obvious reason: everyone can walk to it. The entry is over rocks, so booties and a little practice.

A month in figures
In January, the month the forecast guides single out for this coast:
Shares of the month, from the published forecast statistics. The model reads a grid, so neighbouring breaks share a figure: this describes a stretch of coast, not this wave on its own. The other eleven months are not published.
What to watch for
- Rocks
Technical figures read off published surf guides. Where two disagree, the sheet says so.
