About Belvedere
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (176°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (356°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.8 km out (1 in 179). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 14°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nettuno, 0.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
