About Nanarup beach

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

The spot faces SE (140°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (320°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 130). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in September, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Emu Point. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
