About Enderts Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (244°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (64°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 120). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 13°C in August, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually September, October, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Crescent City, 6.9 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
