About Juquehy
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (206°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (26°). 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 122). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 21°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March, April and May, with about 3 good days in 7; in September and October, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Maresias. Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
