About Robe Long Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (282°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (102°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–13 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 7.7 km out (1 in 769). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 14°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 17°C in January, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Robe, 4.5 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
