About Milagro
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (238°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (58°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 9). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 22°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 30°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually September, with about 5 good days in 7; in January, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Rosendo Nieblas, 1.4 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
