About Sidi Bouzid 2eme
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (314°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (134°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.0 km out (1 in 196). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 2 good days in 7; in June and July, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sidi Bouzid, 1.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
