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.

September at Car-rille, Philippines, offers generally small but rideable conditions with an average swell height of 0.7m and a decent period of 6.9s, suggesting relatively clean, albeit soft waves. The majority of swells come from the WSW (16.26% of waves in the 0.5-1m range) and NNW (8.83% in the same range), producing consistent but mostly knee- to waist-high surf. Larger swells exceeding 1.5m are rare (under 4% combined), making it better suited for longboarders or beginners. The wind is favorable for surfing only 27% of the time, with the most common unfavorable winds being SSE to S (moderate onshore winds in the 10-30kph range). When offshore, light NW or WNW winds occasionally clean up the conditions, but these instances are infrequent. Expect crowded lineups on clean days due to the spot’s reliability for smaller waves. Overall, September is a mixed month—fun for cruising but lacking serious power or ideal wind conditions for advanced surfers. (Note: Spot orientation deliberately omitted per request.)
