About Inyadda
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (75°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (255°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 71). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 24°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Bendalong, 0.5 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 8 surf spots and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 20°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).
