About depuradora
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (314°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (134°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 21). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 14°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 17°C in June, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Baiona, 4 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
