About KU DE TA - Semyniak
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (255°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (75°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.6 km out (1 in 256). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. 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 Denpasar, 9.2 km away (20 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 8 surf spots and 5 wind sports spots.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
