About Point seldom
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (280°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (100°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 34). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 5°C in March, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 16°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sola, 4.7 km away (12 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
