About Mahury

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces NE (64°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (244°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 6.7 km out (1 in 667). 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 June, with about 4 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Matoury, 7.5 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 2 wind sports spots and 1 kayak spot.

Water about 28°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).
