About Djeno rocher
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (234°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (54°). 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 gently: 10 m deep about 800 m out (1 in 80). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 22°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually April and May, with about 4 good days in 7; in September and October, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Pointe-Noire.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
