About Twin Rivers
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (164°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (344°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 8.3 km out (1 in 833). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 9°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 13°C in July, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). The town to stay in is Ucluelet, 6.6 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
Water about 10°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).
