About The Wall (New Symrna)
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (62°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (242°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 950 m out (1 in 93). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is New Smyrna Beach, 3.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
