About Bagasbas Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (40°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (220°). 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 2.4 km out (1 in 238). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 31°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually September and October, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Bagasbas, 0 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
