About Mosca Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (125°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (305°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 800 m out (1 in 82). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 19°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Agüimes, 5.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
