About Cabo Raso
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (79°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (259°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 68). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 9°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 17°C in February, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: El Cabo, Rawson, 2 km. Nearest beds: Camarones, 64 km. Nearest airport: Almirante Marco Andres Zar Airport (REL), 125 km.
Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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).
