About Blueys beach wedge
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (107°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (287°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 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 19°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 25°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually May, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Blueys Beach, 1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.
Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
