About Toscanini Point

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

The spot faces W (248°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (68°). 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 2.1 km out (1 in 213). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 14°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 19°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually May and June, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Henties Bay, 171 km.

Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
