About Zeto Point - Adak

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

The spot faces S (190°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (10°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 37). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 4°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 9°C in August, its warmest (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves). The town to stay in is Adak.

Water about 6°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. 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).
