About Mill Bay
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (61°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (241°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 29). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 5°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 11°C in July, its warmest (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves). The town to stay in is Kodiak, 6.1 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 7°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. 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).
