About Flozza Pipe
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (271°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (91°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 20). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 19°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March and April, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Perth. Within 5 km we also list 9 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
