Car-rille - surf spot statistics

Car-rillo in the Philippines is primarily a windswell-dominated spot with minimal ground swell influence, mostly under 4% year-round. The best surf conditions occur from November to February, when windswell activity is highest (75-83%) and swell size peaks (0.9-1.1m). December stands out with the largest waves (1.1m mean swell size), 83% windswell likelihood, and the most favorable wind conditions (55% good winds). January follows closely with similar swell size (1.0m) and slightly lower but still decent wind stats (49% favorable). Early season (October) and late season (February) offer transitional conditions—October has improving winds (38% good) while February's swell consistency remains solid (69% windswell) despite deteriorating winds. From March through September, conditions weaken significantly: swell probability drops below 70%, mean sizes fall to 0.5-0.8m, and onshore winds dominate (71-86% unfavorable). April-May are particularly poor, with minimal swell (32-37% windswell) and the worst wind stats (81-86% bad). For surfers prioritizing size and consistency, December-January is the clear prime window, though November and February can deliver worthwhile sessions with slightly more wind variability. Avoid mid-year (April-August) unless surfing small, onshore waves is acceptable.

June at Car-rille offers generally small but rideable surf, with an average swell height of 0.7m and a moderate period of 6.5s. The dominant swell direction is from the west-southwest (WSW), accounting for the largest share of waves, particularly in the 0.5-1.5m range. While most waves are below 1.5m, there are occasional bigger sets, especially from the SW and WSW directions, with 2-2.5m waves occurring around 1-2% of the time. Wind conditions are variable, but only 21% of the time are they ideal for surfing. The predominant winds come from the south to southeast (SSE-SE) at 10-30kph, which can create onshore chop, though lighter easterly winds (E-ESE) occasionally offer cleaner conditions. Overall, June is a quieter month with smaller, softer waves, best suited for beginners or longboarders when winds cooperate. Advanced surfers may find rare, slightly larger days with WSW swells and lighter winds.
