About Point Break
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (244°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (64°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea is about 14°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Fiumicino, 7.2 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
