About Rada Tilly

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces E (103°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (283°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.4 km out (1 in 141). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 8°C in August, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 16°C in February, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Rada Tilly, 0.1 km away (about 5 min by car).

Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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).
