About El muelle
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (143°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (323°). 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 1.1 km out (1 in 114). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 21°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Miramar, 1.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 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).
