Playa del Borrego

Best Surf Season (November - February)

Playa del Borrego finds its stride when the North Pacific storm track wakes up and the seasonal offshore wind machine turns on. From November through February, the percentage of ideal wind sits at 71-75 percent, the highest of the year. Average wave heights hover around 2.6ft (0.8m), but average periods stay in the long-period range of 12.6-13.1s, meaning the surf runs are remarkably clean and well organized for their size. Swell direction during this window is dominated by W, WNW, WSW, and SW energy - not every pulse points perfectly into the southwest-facing beach, but the WSW and SW windows make the most of the exposed orientation.
