About Biarritz Marbella
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (304°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (124°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 38). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Biarritz, 2.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 12 surf spots and 1 dive site.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
