Escolleras - surf spot statistics

Escolleras in Mexico offers consistent surf conditions year-round, with reliable ground swells dominating every month (90-100%). The best time for surfers is typically from November to April when swell consistency is highest (99-100% ground swell) and wind conditions are most favorable (good wind days ranging from 56-63%). During these months, mean swell sizes are moderate, averaging 0.9-1.3m, making them ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. November and December stand out with excellent wind conditions (63% good winds) and manageable swell heights (0.9-1.1m), while January and February also deliver solid waves (0.9-1.0m) with relatively stable winds (60-62% favorable). March and April see slightly larger swells (1.1-1.3m) while maintaining decent wind conditions (56-59% good winds). The summer months (May-September) bring bigger swells (1.4-1.6m), but wind conditions deteriorate, with bad winds occurring 48-55% of the time. June and September are the least reliable due to the highest frequency of poor winds (55%). October marks a transition back to better conditions, with improved winds (56% favorable) and a slight drop in swell size (1.4m). Overall, late autumn to early spring (November-April) provides the most balanced combination of swell consistency, manageable wave size, and favorable winds at Escolleras.

April at Escolleras, Mexico, offers generally favorable surf conditions with a consistent, mid-sized swell averaging 1.3m and a long-period pulse of 15.0s, ensuring well-spaced, clean waves. The swell is predominantly from the SSW direction (75.6% of waves in the 0.5-2.5m range), with a secondary contribution from the SW (10.9%) and S (4.6%). This results in well-organized, rideable waves, especially in the 1-1.5m range (62.2% from SSW). Wind conditions are surfable 56% of the time, with the most favorable winds being light to moderate (under 20kph) from the N to NE (17–19% combined) and lighter WSW winds (11.2%). However, stronger SW-WSW winds (10–12% at 20-30kph) can create chop, particularly in the afternoons. Overall, April delivers reliable surf with good shape and minimal wind interference, best in the morning before onshore breezes pick up. Intermediate to advanced surfers will find consistent, fun-sized waves, while bigger days (1.5-2m) offer more powerful sections.
