Mile 72 Location

-21.8784, 14.0673

-21.87843, 14.06729 View on OpenStreetMap →

Mile 72 sits at -21.8784°N, 14.0673°E, on the coast of Erongo Region, Namibia. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
