About Kuda

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

The spot faces SW (211°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (31°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 31). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 1°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 21°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Nakhodka. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 7°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. 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).
