About Pinamar
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (122°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (302°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.8 km out (1 in 476). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 22°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Pinamar, 1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
