About Meat Pai
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (123°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (303°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–5 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 28). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 29°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Sor, 71 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Jayapura, 493 km. Nearest airport: Frans Kaisiepo Airport (BIK), 39 km.
Water about 30°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).
