About Serua Rights
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (192°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (12°). 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 400 m out (1 in 38). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually March, with about 4 good days in 7; in August and September, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Deuba, 7 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Namatakula, 17 km (about 30 min by car). Nearest airport: Nausori International Airport (SUV), 72 km.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
