About Ocean beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (133°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (313°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 11). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Ocean Beach, 3.1 km away (8 min by car).
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
