About Tombstones
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (302°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (122°). 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 steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 22°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in April, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually June, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Three Mile Camp Camping Area, MacLeod, 1 km. Nearest beds: Carnarvon, 113 km. Nearest airport: Carnarvon Airport (CVQ), 113 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
