About Palastines
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (291°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (111°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 18°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in March, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March and April, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Yallingup, 1.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 12 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
