About Satans Shank
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (356°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (176°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 10–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 71). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 2°C in July, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 4°C in February, its warmest (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Port Sud Est, 3798 km.
Water about 2°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, 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).
