Costa Azul - surf spot statistics

Costa Azul, Mexico, offers consistent surf conditions year-round, with ground swells dominating the swell regime almost every month. The best surfing months are typically from March through September, when ground swell consistency is highest (peaking at 99% from March to May) and wind conditions are favorable. March, April, and May stand out with excellent ground swell reliability (99%) and good wind conditions (61-67%). Swell size gradually increases from spring into summer, averaging 0.8-0.9m in spring and peaking at 1.1-1.3m from May through September. Late summer (July-Sept) sees slightly more wind swell interference (11-16%) but maintains solid wave height (1.2-1.3m) and reasonably good wind conditions (55-58%). The fall months (Oct-Nov) still provide decent surf, with ground swells remaining dominant (88-92%) and swell size tapering to 0.9-1.1m. Winter (Dec-Feb) brings smaller waves (0.8m) and less favorable winds (winter months average 43-56% good wind days), but ground swells remain strong (88-95%). For the best balance of wave quality and wind conditions, late spring (April-May) is ideal, offering clean, consistent waves with minimal wind interference and gradually increasing swell size. Advanced surfers may prefer the slightly bigger summer waves (June-Aug), though wind conditions are marginally less reliable. Overall, Costa Azul provides dependable surf year-round, with peak conditions centered around the spring and early summer months.

In November, Costa Azul typically offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 0.9m and a strong period of 14.1s, producing clean, well-spaced waves. The swell predominantly comes from SSW (45.62% of waves in the 0.5-1m range, 13.51% in 1-1.5m) and S (20.85% in 0.5-1m, 6.15% in 1-1.5m), ensuring consistent rideable waves with occasional head-high+ sets. The wind is favorable 54% of the time, mostly light to moderate from the N to NNW (10-20kph range), though stronger N winds can occasionally create choppier conditions. Offshore breezes are less frequent but help shape up the best sessions. Expect a mix of waist-to-shoulder-high surf, with ideal conditions when winds are light and swells are under 1.5m—great for all skill levels, though larger days require experience.
