About The Right
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (180°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (0°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 65). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 21°C in April, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March, April and May, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nornalup.
Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
