About denison surf beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (286°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (106°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 37). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 19°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 24°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually May and June, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Port Denison, 0.5 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 21°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).
