About Veneros
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (340°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (160°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 4). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually September, with about 2 good days in 7; in March, April and May, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Corral Del Risco, 1.7 km away (8 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots and 3 dive sites.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
