Bozo - surf spot statistics

Best Surf Season (October - March)

The winter months bring the North Atlantic storm track to life, generating consistent long-period swells from the N to NE quadrant – exactly what Bozo's NNE exposure is built for. Average heights hover between 1.5 and 1.6m with periods averaging 9.3-9.4s, delivering punchy, rippable waves day after day. While the dominant trade winds often blow from the E-ESE, keeping conditions choppy, the windows of offshore flow from the S-SSW (occurring 21-43% of the time) turn the lineup into a surfer's paradise – glassy, groomed faces that make the most of every incoming pulse.

Fair Surf Season (April & September)

Shoulder months see a transition. April retains a decent mix of NE and NNE swell (over 40% combined), though average heights drop to 1.3m and periods slip to 8.9s. September marks the return of longer-period swell (8.8s) with a growing NE component (26.5% from NE/NNE) as hurricane season stirs the Atlantic. Both months offer improved wind statistics (25% and 46% ideal wind, respectively), but the swell quality is more hit-or-miss compared to the peak season.

Low Surf Season (May - August)

During the summer months, the tropical trade wind regime locks in. Swell is dominated by E and ENE directions (over 75% combined), which are not optimal for this NNE-facing spot, resulting in small, weak, short-period waves averaging 1.1-1.2m and 7.2-8.1s. Constant onshore winds from the E and ESE further degrade wave quality. While the percentage of ideal wind (offshore) actually increases to 31-37% due to lighter overall conditions, the swell direction and size rarely cooperate. Small, groveling waves are the norm, with occasional exceptions from hurricane swell or distant storms.

August: A Glimmer of Hope in the Trades

August shows slight signs of life compared to June and July. Average swell height holds at 1.1m but period edges up to 7.4s. The swell distribution still leans heavily on E (55.5%) and ENE (39.3%), though a minor uptick in NE (3.3%) and NNE (0.7%) hints at the upcoming autumn transition. The trade winds remain relentless – ESE (39.5%) and E (28.4%) blow onshore most of the time, with ideal S-SSW flow only 0.5% of the time. However, the increase in ENE swell means slightly more open ocean fetch, and with lighter mornings (ideal wind at 37%), there are occasional small, clean windows for smaller boards. It's still a low season, but the seeds of improvement are starting to show.
