About gumboots
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (105°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (285°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.5 km out (1 in 455). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 15°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 21°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Bandy Creek, 198 km. Nearest airport: Esperance Airport (EPR), 205 km.
Water about 18°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).
