About Tudibaring

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

The spot faces SE (126°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (306°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 28). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 19°C in July, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 24°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually May, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Terrigal, 5.3 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 14 surf spots.

Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
