About Beau Vallon Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (305°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (125°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 4–19 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Beau Vallon Beau Vallon, 1.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 1 wind sports spot and 3 dive sites.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
