About Saint Andreu de Llavaneres

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces SE (151°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (331°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 42). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best month is usually December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, 1.9 km away (5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
