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.

March at Ekas, Indonesia, offers reliable surf conditions with a predominant swell direction from the SSW and SW, which aligns well with the spot’s exposure. The average swell height is 1.4m, supported by a solid 13.8s period, ensuring clean, well-spaced waves. Most waves fall in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m ranges (53.08% combined), with occasional larger sets up to 2.5m (4.39%). Wind conditions are favorable 43% of the time, with light to moderate offshore or cross-shore breezes most common from the E to SE. However, stronger W and WSW winds (10-30kph) can occasionally disrupt conditions, particularly later in the month. Overall, March delivers consistent, mid-sized waves with good shape, though wind variability may require timing sessions for optimal glassy conditions. Advanced surfers will find worthwhile rides, especially when swell energy peaks.
