About Consolacao
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (248°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (68°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 24). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 18°C in June, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Peniche, 3.7 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 8 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
