About Leftovers under the bridge

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

The spot faces W (271°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (91°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea is about 10°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 13°C in June, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually August and September, with about 2 good days in 7; in January and February, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Newport, 1.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.

Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, 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).
