About Jersey - Watersplash
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (269°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (89°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 119). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 9°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is St. Brelade, 2.7 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 7 surf spots.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
