Ups and Downs II - Try to avoid May - June here as the on-shore wind and size max out the place. Look for east swells and light-med offshore winds or after rain storms.
Also: Get a place with a kitchen, there's not too many cheap sodas anymore as the Isrealis have taken over. And if you want to avoid the drug scene, just go to bed at 9pm and surf at 5am.

Has its' ups and downs - I've been there 5 times and the place is still unpredictable to me. There's always waves but you can catch mushy, crowded and disorganized 3-6ft burgers for 2-3 weeks or epic light offshore barrels with no one out for 2 weeks; thinking you're in the best place in the world. Springtime is prolly the magic time (offshore and size) based on hindsight. Also, there are hordes of cabinas, so no worries about reservations unless your going in Dec-Jan.
