Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (December - February)
The northeast monsoon is the engine that drives Alwars. From December through February, the Bay of Bengal fills with a steady stream of NNE, NE, ENE and E swell, giving this east-northeast-facing beach its most consistent waves of the year. Average wave heights hold around 3ft (0.9-1m), with periods of 7-9s, producing a punchy, rideable mixture of windswell and short-period groundswell. The trade-off is a persistent NNE/NE onshore wind that often chops up the surface. The real winners are the surfers who hunt dawn windows and time the brief offshore swings from the W/SW quadrant.
