About corumbá

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

The spot faces S (175°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (355°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 49). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 12°C in July, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 23°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is La Paloma, 3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
