About Jenny's right
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (179°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (359°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 4). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Krui. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
