About Timmy Turner's New Left
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (230°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (50°). 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 500 m out (1 in 52). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers 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 Cibaregbeg.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
