About TT s
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (273°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (93°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 34). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 24°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Sarodrano, 3 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Toliara, 18 km (about 35 min by car). Nearest airport: Toliara Airport (TLE), 14 km.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
