About es secret
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (324°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (144°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Son Parc, 8.8 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots and 2 dive sites.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
