Playa Mar Verde

Best Surf Season (November - February)

Playa Mar Verde's surf window opens in November when the North Atlantic subtropical high builds back across the western Atlantic and cold fronts start reaching the tropics. Offshore wind is ideal 51% of the time in November and rises to 59% in December before settling at 54% and 53% in January and February. Average swell heights sit at a consistent 0.7-0.8m (2.3-2.6ft) with periods in the 6.1-6.7s range, so the surf is small but clean. The E/ESE trade-wind swell still dominates, but the N/NNE offshore flow keeps the south-facing beach tidy. This is the heart of the season for groomed, rideable waves in warm water.
