About Lambe lambe
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (1°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (181°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 4–16 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 27). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 18°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ratones. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
