About Mys Flotskiy
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (183°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (3°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 57). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 0°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 19°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Smolyachkovo, 18 km (about 35 min by car). Nearest airport: Pulkovo Airport (LED), 74 km.
Water about 6°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
