About Peggoty
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (81°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (261°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 69). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 4°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 20°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For beginners the best months are usually September and October, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Scituate, 0.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
