About Acre (mifalim)
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (245°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (65°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 127). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best month is usually December, with about 2 good days in 7; in July, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Liman. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 2 dive sites.
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
