About Tiger Tracks
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (253°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (73°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.6 km out (1 in 159). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best month is usually March, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kendalrejo. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
