About Venus Bay Beach 4 & 5

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

The spot faces S (201°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (21°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea is about 15°C in July, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 19°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Port Kenny, 8.3 km away (about 15 min by car).

Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. 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).
