About dalmeny point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (76°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (256°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 36). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 17°C in July, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 23°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually April and June, with about 3 good days in 7; in October, November and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Narooma, 6.1 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
