About Bermagui rivermouth
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (57°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (237°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 22). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 17°C in July, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 23°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Bermagui, 0.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
