About West-Busso Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (349°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (169°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.0 km out (1 in 303). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 16°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 21°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Busselton, 3.2 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
