About Roca Punta
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (285°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (105°). 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 200 m out (1 in 21). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Porticcio, 3.9 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 climbing area.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
