About Dugort
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (1°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (181°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 50). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 9°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 15°C in July, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). The town to stay in is Keel, 5.8 km away (9 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
