Today's Surf Conditions at Stoney Beach

Best Surf Season & Climatology

Best Surf Season (April - May & September - November)

These two transition windows are the real sweet spot at Stoney Beach. The summer onshore trade-wind regime is breaking down, the Southern Ocean low-pressure train is firing, and average wave periods climb into the 9-10 second range. You get a much better chance of clean N/NE/ENE swell hitting the beach under a S/SW or WSW offshore flow. April and May are the most consistent, with ideal-wind frequencies of 29-32% and periods of 10.2-10.6s. September through November sees the preferred NE/ENE swell window climb back up to around 29-33% of the spectrum while spring cold fronts supply offshore wind.
