Spanish term or phrase: aguanta bastante mar
Here's another wave question. It's the same "San Francisco" wave as in my previous question. The sentence reads: "Esta ola aguanta bastante mar y puede llegar a los tres metros antes de cerrar la bahía". Can anybody explain/suggest translation for "aguanta bastante mar" using surf lingo?
Thanks!

If you want surf empty lineups , this is the place. Bejuco is a beach break and more a wave to save the day, it doesn´t hold big swell.
