About Tandjungs
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (124°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (304°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 53). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually February, March, November and December, with about 4 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Denpasar, 4 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 3 wind sports spots and 4 dive sites.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
