About Toilets

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

The spot faces NW (322°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (142°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 70). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 12°C in June, its warmest (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves). The town to stay in is Coos Bay. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.

Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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).
