About Hamers

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces SW (231°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (51°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.0 km out (1 in 400). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 19°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 24°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Geraldton, 3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 7 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 21°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).
