Nanjizal Water Temperature and Wetsuit Guide

Cold Nanjizal water temperature (10 °C / 50 °F) today. Despite the sunshine, we suggest wearing a thick winter wetsuit, and ideally a neoprene hood, gloves and boots too because of the windchill will make air temperatures feel close to freezing.

Below is a graph of Historical Sea Surface Temperature for Nanjizal. This has been derived from analysis of two decades of oceanographic satellite measurements of nearby open water. We have calculated the average water temperature variation around the year as well as the extremes that have been observed on each date.

All of the graphs for the surf breaks presented on Surf-Forecast.com are on the same scale to enable comparison between locations around the world.

Nanjizal sea temperatures peak in the range 15 to 19°C (59 to 66°F) on around the 12th of August and are at their lowest on about the 25th of February, in the range 8 to 10°C (46 to 50°F). The maximum seasonal sea temperatures at Nanjizal in the second week of August lend themselves to a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 3/2mm suit and 3mm neoprene boots. At its lowest in late February, low sea temperatures at Nanjizal are suited to a 5/4mm or 5/3mm good quality wetsuit with neoprene gloves and 3mm boots. You will need a hood if it's windy or the air is cold.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Nanjizal can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Nanjizal.
