About Pascuales
Facing, offshore wind, exposure and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (215°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (35°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits expert surfers. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 51). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 25°C in April, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Boca de Pascuales, 1.4 km away (2 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
