About Stormie and Flinders Bay

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

The spot faces SE (133°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (313°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–19 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.1 km out (1 in 109). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 21°C in March, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Augusta, 3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 19°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).
