About Kalpeni left
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (212°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (32°). 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 steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 10). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 28°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 31°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually April, with about 5 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kalpeni.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
