About Coco nuts
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (41°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (221°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.2 km out (1 in 323). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually April, September, October and November, with about 2 good days in 7; in June and July, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Bávaro, 3.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 1 dive site.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
