About Dunes - Exmouth
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (341°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (161°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 29). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 24°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Exmouth Western Australia. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 3 dive sites.
Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. 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).
