About Sluttys
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (109°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (289°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 133). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 21°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 26°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Korora, 5.4 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
