About The Wall
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (240°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (60°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 17°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Santa Rosaliita.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. 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).
