About Beaumaris - BBS point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (195°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (15°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 71). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 11°C in July, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 22°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Beaumaris, 0.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
