About Puger
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (202°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (22°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 25). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 25°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March and November, with about 5 good days in 7; in July, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Ambulu.
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
