About El Rebote
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (323°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (143°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 45). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 16°C in September, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Huacho. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
