About Foxos
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (263°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (83°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 750 m out (1 in 74). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 14°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 17°C in June, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, March and December, with about 2 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sanxenxo, 6.5 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
