Big Rock - surf spot statistics

Big Rock in India is primarily a windswell-dominated spot, with ground swells making a minor contribution throughout most of the year. The best months for surfing are between July and September, when ground swell presence increases slightly (17-27%) and wind conditions improve significantly, with good winds occurring 28-37% of the time. During this period, mean swell size remains consistent at around 1.0-1.1m, offering more rideable waves. August stands out as the most favorable month, combining a 23% ground swell contribution with the highest likelihood of good wind conditions (30%). Outside this window, the spot suffers from predominantly poor wind conditions (70-98% bad winds), particularly from November to February, effectively making winter months nearly unsurfable due to strong onshore winds and minimal ground swell. While May and June see a slight uptick in swell size (1.2m), wind conditions remain suboptimal (79-82% bad winds). For consistency and cleaner conditions, late summer (July-September) is the clear choice, despite the generally small swell size. Advanced surfers may find occasional workable days in April-May or October, but the spot heavily relies on local windswell and requires patience outside peak season.
