About Ombak Tujuh
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (265°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (85°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 30). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 27°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Palabuhanratu.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
