Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (December - April)
The dry season delivers the most consistent combination of rideable swell and workable wind. As the Intertropical Convergence Zone retreats south, the northeast trade winds strengthen and blow offshore out of the NNE/NE/ENE quadrant, grooming the steady long-period SSW/SW groundswell into clean, rippable walls. Average wave heights sit in the 1.0-1.2m (3-4ft) range, but with periods of 12-14s the waves still carry plenty of punch. These months also bring the lowest rainfall of the year, making it far easier to find a truly glassy dawn session.
