About Blueberry Bay

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

The spot faces S (179°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (359°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.4 km out (1 in 139). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 2°C in March, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Lunenburg. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.

Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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).
