Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Untouchables?

The Untouchables profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Untouchables?

The Untouchables profile uses wind from NE (45°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 0° to 90°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Untouchables?

The Untouchables scoring profile favors swell from WNW (270° to 330°), a swell-height range of 1m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 14s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
