About La Voz de Venezuela
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (34°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (214°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 67). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Adícora.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. 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).
