About Sarisu

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

The spot faces N (344°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (164°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 36). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 9°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 25°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually January, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Doganc. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.

Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
