About New ningo

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

The spot faces SE (157°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (337°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 23°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually October, November and December, with about 2 good days in 7; in July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Prampram, 6.5 km away (about 15 min by car).

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
