About qulansiyah
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (313°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (133°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 16). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 25°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Qalansīyah.
Water about 27°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).
