About Kelonia la ferme corail
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 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 24°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, November and December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Saint-Leu, 1.8 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 3 dive sites.
Water about 26°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
