About Six senses
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (107°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (287°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 750 m out (1 in 76). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually June and September, with about 5 good days in 7; in January, February and March, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
