About Aguieira
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (283°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (103°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 7–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 25). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 17°C in June, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Queiruga. Within 5 km we also list 3 wind sports spots.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
