About B-point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (324°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (144°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 27°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in November, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Suai, 58 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Dili, 65 km. Nearest airport: Commander in Chief of FALINTIL, Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, International Airport (UAI), 59 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).

about US$1,340–US$2,670 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, food, board and wetsuit.
