About Majon Hotel Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (137°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (317°). 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 37). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 4°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually September and October, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Hŭngnam.
Water about 13°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. 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).
