About West Montalivet Island

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

The spot faces E (112°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (292°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–14 ft of swell. The sea is about 27°C in June, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 31°C in December, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Boa, 450 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Boa East Nusa Tenggara, 455 km.

Water about 30°C: no 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).
