About Pelican Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (171°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (351°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 33.3 km out (1 in 3333). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 20°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 26°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Carnarvon, 2.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
