Today's Surf Conditions at Ohama
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (September - November)
The autumn months are when the western Pacific truly wakes up. Lingering summer heat fuels tropical cyclone formation, while early extratropical lows push down from the north, creating a consistent supply of E/ESE/SE/SSE groundswell for Ohama's SE-facing bight. Average surf heights hover around 5ft (1.5-1.6m), and periods climb from 8 to nearly 9s, producing punchy, hollow, rideable surf. Water temperatures are still warm, ranging from 21.6 to 26.1°C, and the strengthening NW monsoon begins to groom the swell with offshore winds. It is the most reliable mix of size, direction, and surface texture of the year.
