About Bunker Bay - Quarries
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (37°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (217°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 71). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 21°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Dunsborough. Within 5 km we also list 11 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
