About Little River Jetties
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (140°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (320°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.8 km out (1 in 385). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 11°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Sunset Beach, 4.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
