About Umina Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (154°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (334°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 4–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.7 km out (1 in 169). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 24°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 December, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Brooklyn, 9.1 km away (about 20 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 9 surf spots and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
