About Erics
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (168°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (348°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 28). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 27°C in June, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March, November and December, with about 4 good days in 7; in July, about 0. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Baing, 4 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Waingapu, 76 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
