About Neuhaus

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

The spot faces NW (317°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (137°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.0 km out (1 in 400). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 4°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Neuhaus, 0 km away (about 5 min by car).

Water about 10°C: 4/3 or 5/4, 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).
