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.

March at Car-rille, Philippines, offers generally small surf conditions with an average swell height of 0.6m and a moderate 6.1s period. The best swell direction is predominantly from the north-northwest (NNW), accounting for most of the rideable waves, particularly in the 0.5–2m range. However, wave energy is limited, with 32.92% of swells from the NNW measuring just 0–0.5m, and only 3.29% reaching 1.5–2m. Larger waves over 2m are rare (0.77% combined). Wind conditions are variable, with rideable offshore winds occurring 29% of the time. The most favorable winds are light (0–20kph) and come from the east to southeast (E/ESE/SE), but stronger onshore winds from the west-northwest (WNW) and northwest (NW) can occasionally disrupt conditions. Overall, March delivers mostly small, playful waves best suited for beginner to intermediate surfers, with occasional cleaner days when winds align. Advanced surfers may find it underwhelming unless chasing rare, slightly larger NNW pulses.
