About Affenrucken point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (274°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (94°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 27). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 13°C in July, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 17°C in January, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Oranjemund, 101 km. Nearest airport: Oranjemund Airport (OMD), 105 km.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
