About Trechery

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces E (99°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (279°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–13 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 19°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 25°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually April, May and June, with about 2 good days in 7; in January, February and November, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sydney. Within 5 km we also list 15 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 dive site.

Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
