About near repos beach

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces E (110°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (290°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 119). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually July and August, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Puducherry, 4.6 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
