Esposende, Portugal, offers consistent surf conditions year-round, though the best months for surfers generally fall between October and March. During this period, ground swell dominates (65–92% occurrence), providing powerful, clean waves with mean swell sizes ranging from 1.9m to 2.6m. The winter months, particularly December to February, see the largest swells (2.4–2.6m) and the highest likelihood of ground swell (87–92%), making them ideal for experienced surfers seeking bigger waves. However, wind conditions are less favorable, with only 33–36% of days offering good offshore or cross-shore winds—December and October have the best wind stats (36% good conditions). Spring (April–June) and summer (July–September) bring smaller swells (1.2–1.8m) and a higher proportion of wind swell, which often results in less ideal wave shape. Summer has the poorest conditions, with weak swells (1.2–1.4m) and predominantly onshore winds (70–83% bad wind days). September marks the transition back to better surf, with ground swell returning (48%) and slightly improved winds (30% good). Overall, late autumn to early winter (October–December) strikes the best balance between swell size, consistency, and manageable wind conditions, while winter (January–February) delivers the biggest waves for those willing to take on the less predictable winds.
