About Los Organos

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

The spot faces NW (316°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (136°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 16). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 22°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 26°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually February and March, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Los Órganos, 1.8 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
