About Foul bay
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (127°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (307°). It is sheltered 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 350 m out (1 in 34). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually September, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is The Crane, 0.5 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
