About Do'o Island
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (206°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (26°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually November, with about 4 good days in 7; in June and July, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
