About Cemiterio

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

The spot faces SE (136°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (316°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 8). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 17°C in July, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 26°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually June, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Cigana, 3.5 km away (about 10 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.
