About carthage neptune
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (95°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (275°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.9 km out (1 in 286). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 15°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is La Marsa, 3.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
