About East Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (272°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (92°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 4–18 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 29). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Itza Resort, Belize District, 3 km. Nearest beds: Dangriga, 72 km. Nearest airport: Dangriga Airport (DGA), 71 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. 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).
