About Westheaven State Park
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (297°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (117°). 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 1.1 km out (1 in 106). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 9°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 15°C in August, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). The town to stay in is Westport, 1.8 km away (5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
