About Machines

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

The spot faces SW (234°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (54°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 65). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually February and March, with about 6 good days in 7; in July, August and September, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Teluk Dalam. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 29°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).
