About Grandview
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (84°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (264°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 5.6 km out (1 in 556). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 5°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 27°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Hampton, 8.4 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 14°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).
