About Golf Parc
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (106°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (286°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.1 km out (1 in 313). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 19°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually November, with about 2 good days in 7; in June, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Miyazaki, 6.5 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
