About tanjung left
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (117°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (297°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 600 m out (1 in 58). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best month is usually March, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Denpasar, 3.4 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 2 dive sites.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
