Today's Surf Conditions at Airport
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (April - October)
Airport hits its stride when the southeast monsoon takes over the Indonesian archipelago. Through April to October, a persistent ridge of high pressure over Australia drives clean E/ESE/SE trade winds into this west-facing stretch of coast, while the Southern Ocean winter storm belt kicks up powerful SSW/S groundswell. Average wave heights run a consistent 5-7ft (1.7-2.2m) with periods climbing from 13.8 into the mid-14s, and offshore wind percentages are at their annual peak. June through August deliver the heaviest, most consistent size, while September and October often match that punch with the cleanest surfaces and the highest percentage of rideable days.
