Alwars seasonal overview
Alwars in India offers surfable conditions year-round, but the best months for surfers are typically March, April, and October when swell quality, wind conditions, and wave height align most favorably. March and April stand out with a high percentage of ground swell (82%-88%), which produces cleaner and more organized waves compared to wind swell. These months also provide the best wind conditions, with 34% and 45% good winds respectively, reducing onshore chop and improving wave quality. October follows as another solid month, with 70% ground swell and 25% favorable wind conditions. Swell size during these months averages 1.0-1.1m in March-April and 1.4m in October, offering manageable yet fun waves for intermediate surfers. The worst conditions occur in January, June, and December due to poor wind directions (98%, 98%, 93% bad winds) and a higher proportion of wind swell or mixed conditions, which create less predictable surf. May through September sees larger swells (1.7-2.0m), but the majority of days suffer from unfavorable winds, making sessions inconsistent. If you’re targeting a balance between swell consistency, size, and clean conditions, prioritize March-April for smaller, cleaner waves and October for slightly bigger but still manageable surf. Avoid the peak monsoon months (June-August) unless you’re prepared for strong onshore winds and rough surf.
