About Eastern Brook
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (154°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (334°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.0 km out (1 in 204). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 1°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is New Harbour. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 10°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
