About Cornino
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (299°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (119°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 750 m out (1 in 73). 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 Cornino, 0.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 climbing area.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
