About Caletone
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (22°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (202°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 9). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Guardalavaca.
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
