About Piscinas
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (290°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (110°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 41). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and November, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Fluminimaggiore.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
