About Cofete beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (337°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (157°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 19°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Esquinzo, 9.3 km away (about 20 min by car).
Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
