About Jimbaran Shorey
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (288°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (108°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 42). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Jimbaran, 2.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
