About Bunbury - Ammos
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (289°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (109°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 31). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 16°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Bunbury, 0.8 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 14 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
