About Pundakit
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (279°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (99°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 1–5 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 10). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 27°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Pundaquit, 0.3 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. 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).
