Ekas - surf spot statistics

Ekas, Indonesia, is a consistent year-round surf destination with reliable ground swells dominating every month, rarely dropping below 90% probability. The swell size averages between 1.4m and 2.0m, peaking from June to September with the largest waves, making these months ideal for experienced surfers seeking size and power. The best wind conditions, however, occur outside this period—particularly in April, October, and November—when the likelihood of good offshore winds exceeds 65%. March also offers improved wind conditions compared to the early-year months, though with slightly smaller swells. The mid-year swell peak (July-August) comes with a trade-off: while wave height is at its maximum, onshore winds are more frequent, reducing quality. April stands out as an excellent balance of solid swell (1.5m, 100% ground swell) and the highest chance of clean conditions (68% good winds). October and November follow closely, combining overhead-capable swells (1.7m and 1.5m) with very favorable wind odds (69% and 72%). For surfers prioritizing both wave consistency and clean faces, April and October-November are the prime windows, whereas those chasing bigger but potentially choppier waves should target June-September. December-February remains surfable but suffers from higher onshore wind likelihood.

December at Ekas offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.5m and a solid 13.3s period, providing well-organized, powerful waves—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. The dominant swell direction is from the SW and SSW, accounting for over 90% of the waves, with most falling in the 1-2.5m range, ensuring reliable size and quality. Wind conditions are favorable 39% of the time, with the majority of winds blowing light to moderate (0-20kph) from the S to WSW. However, stronger winds (20-30kph) from the WSW and W can occasionally disrupt conditions, particularly later in the day. Overall, December delivers reliable, mid-sized waves with good shape and a decent chance of offshore or light cross-shore winds, making it a prime time for surfers seeking consistent rides. Keep an eye on wind shifts, but expect plenty of rideable days.
