About K11
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (243°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (63°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 5–19 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 30). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 20°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Aourir, 0.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 6 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
