About Keller
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (86°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (266°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 10). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Antibes, 3.2 km away (10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 4 wind sports spots.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
