About Lola's
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (282°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (102°). 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 600 m out (1 in 58). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 31°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually January, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Chacala, 2.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
