About Jersey - Greve de Lecq

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

The spot faces N (6°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (186°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 29). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is St Ouen, 2.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 6 surf spots.

Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. 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).
