Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (211°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (31°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 16). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 15°C in April, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 21°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). No town nearby. Santa Rosaliita, 68 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Bahía de los Ángeles, 113 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
