About Macau HacSa Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (128°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (308°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 9.1 km out (1 in 909). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Macau, 8.2 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. 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).

about US$1,400–US$2,700 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
