About Churches left

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

The spot faces NE (33°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (213°). 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 50 m out (1 in 5). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 29°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, April and December, with about 5 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sor.

Water about 30°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
