About Tanjung A'an
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (168°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (348°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–13 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 16). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Kuta, 6 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
