About L=2870

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

The spot faces SW (215°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (35°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–13 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 16°C in March, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Santa Rosaliita.

Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
