About jucy

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

The spot faces E (79°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (259°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–13 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 51). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 23°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Bawley Point, 1.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 6 surf spots and 1 dive site.

Water about 19°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).
