About Mariscal
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (85°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (265°). 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 steeply: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 18). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 18°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually July, August and September, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Bombinhas, 3.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
