About Fernandina
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (43°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (223°). 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 250 m out (1 in 24). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 21°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Puerto Villamil, 93 km. Nearest airport: Seymour Galapagos Ecological Airport (GPS), 133 km.
Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
