About Rick's Reef
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (319°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (139°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 27). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually July, August, September and October, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Agat. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 1 dive site.
Water about 30°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
