About La Lampara, Civitanova Marche
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (61°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (241°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–5 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 133). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually January and November, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Civitanova Marche, 2.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
