About Broulee North

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

The spot faces E (103°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (283°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–16 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.7 km out (1 in 172). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 23°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Mossy Point, 0.8 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 6 surf spots.

Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
