About Three Mile
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (183°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (3°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.0 km out (1 in 103). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 5°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 12°C in August, its warmest (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and December, with about 2 good days in 7; in July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kodiak. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 7°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. 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).
