About Son Serra de Marina

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces N (20°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (200°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 45). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Alcúdia. 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.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

about US$1,150–US$2,160 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
