About Collioure bay

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces NE (47°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (227°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 23°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Collioure, 0.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 2 wind sports spots and 1 dive site.

Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. 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).
