About Rockstar
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (132°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (312°). It is sheltered 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 1.6 km out (1 in 156). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually June, with about 6 good days in 7; in January and February, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Teluk Dalam.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
