About Bilgah beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (59°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (239°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 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 7°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Bilg H. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
