About San lorenzo - san pedro
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (23°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (203°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 47). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 13°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 21°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For beginners the best month is usually January, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Gijon, 1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
