About Rurociag

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

The spot faces NE (46°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (226°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 123). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 4°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 20°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Władysławowo, 1.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 2 wind sports spots and 1 mountain bike area.

Water about 10°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).
