About Mallorca - Son Serra Nova
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (24°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (204°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 43). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and November, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Alcúdia. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
