About West Twin
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (194°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (14°). 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 600 m out (1 in 58). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually October, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Prothrapur, 32 km (about 1h by car). Nearest airport: Veer Savarkar International Airport / INS Utkrosh (IXZ), 35 km.
Water about 29°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).
