About Melanda 2
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (178°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (358°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 54). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually January and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Pissouri, 5 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
