About Emu beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (29°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (209°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea is about 17°C in September, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Emu Point, 1.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
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).
