About Peppi Beach Reef - Capel Cut
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (311°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (131°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 6–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 800 m out (1 in 82). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Peppermint Grove Beach, 1.7 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
