About Yin Yang

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

The spot faces SE (131°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (311°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea is about 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually April, with about 5 good days in 7; in January, February and July, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
