About Algodoal
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (9°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (189°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.8 km out (1 in 476). 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 29°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Algodoal, 1.5 km away (about 5 min by car).
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).
