The wave that made Varkala worth staying for — a fast left off the rocks, and mellow sand for everyone else

The wave that made Varkala worth staying for — a fast left off the rocks, and mellow sand for everyone else
The week ahead, session by session.
Go early — solid & glassy till the wind comes up ~9 am.
Open-Meteo global wave model (~5 km grid). Reliable for swell arrival, size, and period; it does not know the sandbar or exact nearshore breaking height. A GO is "worth checking", never a guarantee.
7 km north of Varkala town, past Odayam and Kappil. Varkala has its own railway station well connected to Kochi, Chennai, Bengaluru and Mumbai; Trivandrum International Airport is ~50 km. Scooter or auto from the cliff. The road here runs with the sea on one side and a backwater lagoon on the other.
