Alwars - surf spot statistics

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.

February at Alwars offers surfable conditions with an average swell height of 1.0m and a solid period of 10.9s, indicating well-formed, clean waves. The dominant swell directions are S to SSW (combined ~30% for 0.5-1m, ~20% for 1-1.5m) and NE (17% for 1-1.5m, 5% for 1.5-2m), with occasional larger sets up to 2m from NE and S directions. Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 12% ideal for surfing—primarily lighter SSE to SW winds (under 20kph). However, NE winds frequently exceed 20kph (37% of the time), potentially creating choppy conditions. Expect the best sessions during SSW swells with lighter winds, while NE swells may offer larger but wind-affected waves. Overall, it's a mixed month with rideable waves but requires patience for optimal windows.
