About Lakey Peak
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (223°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (43°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.4 km out (1 in 244). 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). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually February, March and April, with about 5 good days in 7; in July and September, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Hu U, 7 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Bima, 56 km. Nearest airport: Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin Airport (BMU), 46 km. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
