About Sulingan beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (65°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (245°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually October, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Ngolos, 2 km (about 5 min by car). Nearest airport: Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport (TAC), 92 km.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
