About Troubridge Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (201°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (21°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 20). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 14°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 21°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Edithburgh. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
