About Hanuman point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (121°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (301°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 900 m out (1 in 92). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually September, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Visakhapatnam, 8.7 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
