About Robertsport
Facing, offshore wind, exposure and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (272°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (92°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 23). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 27°C in March, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually May, with about 3 good days in 7; in February, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Robertsport.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
