About Veedol Beach

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

The spot faces E (78°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (258°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 56). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 8°C in March, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 22°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually March and September, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Misawa, 9.9 km away (about 20 min by car).

Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
