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.

**February Surf Conditions at Ekas, Indonesia:** In February, Ekas receives consistent southwest swells with an average height of 1.5m and a strong period of 13.2s, providing powerful, well-spaced waves. The swell distribution shows that **72.5% of waves are in the 1-2.5m range**, with the largest portion (25.6%) falling in the 1-1.5m category, followed by 22.5% in the 1.5-2m range. While bigger sets (over 2.5m) are rare (0.07%), there’s still enough energy for advanced surfers, especially on days when the swell peaks. Wind conditions are less ideal, with only **18% of days offering clean offshore/near-offshore winds** (typically from the east/southeast). The dominant winds come from the west/southwest (WSW-W), blowing onshore at 10-30kph in **26.4% of cases**, which can create choppy or textured conditions. Early mornings tend to be lighter, increasing the chances of glassy sessions. Overall, February delivers solid, powerful waves with good consistency, but wind quality is variable. Patient surfers will score clean conditions, particularly during dawn patrols or when easterly flows briefly prevail. Recommended for experienced surfers comfortable with some swell power and occasional onshore effects.
