About Puri's point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (278°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (98°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 25). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 28°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best month is usually April, with about 5 good days in 7; in July, August and September, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Senggigi, 1.7 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 dive site.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
