About Banana Point

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces SW (240°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (60°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 5–19 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 24). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 20°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Aourir, 1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 6 surf spots.

Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
