About Cumboto

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated. Facts: verified, surf details estimated.

The spot faces N (14°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (194°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 900 m out (1 in 88). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and December, with about 2 good days in 7; in March, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Puerto Cabello, 1.8 km away (about 5 min by car).

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

Cumboto does not suit beginners. This is the forecast for intermediates, so you can see what it does.

No forecast for Cumboto yet: it refreshes every three hours.

Day scores here are the conditions out of 80; a trip's score on the results is the same conditions out of 100. The journey never scores. The forecast reaches about 10 days. Energy is the swell's power in kJ per metre of wave, from its height and interval: it grows with the square of each, so a long-period swell hits far harder than a short one the same size. Wind is in knots: 10 kn is about 19 km/h. The arrow points where the wind blows to; offshore wind, blowing from the land out to sea, is green and says so.
