About blue moon
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (159°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (339°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 14.3 km out (1 in 1429). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in September, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Emu Point, 8.4 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 18°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).
