About Lescuale's House
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (184°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (4°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 36). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually January, February, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Ventimiglia, 1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
