About Black Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (218°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (38°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits expert surfers. It works in 3–20 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 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 21°C in March, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For expert surfers the best months are usually May and June, with about 3 good days in 7; in January, February and December, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Augusta.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
