About Las Pasas
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (7°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (187°). 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 gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 72). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually October, with about 3 good days in 7; in June and July, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Vega Baja, 6.6 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
