About Lantana
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (14°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (194°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 50.0 km out (1 in 5000). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Lantana, 0 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots, 1 dive site and 1 kayak spot.
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
