About Escollera Necochea
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (182°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (2°). 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 128). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 11°C in July, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 21°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually May, with about 2 good days in 7; in November, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Necochea, 4.4 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. 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).
