About Tam Oshanter Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (18°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (198°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 33). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 12°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 19°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Bridport.
Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
