First Point - surf spot statistics

First Point in the United States offers variable surf conditions throughout the year, with the best months typically aligning with higher ground swell consistency and favorable wind conditions. From the data, April through October stands out as the prime window for surfers, with ground swell likelihood peaking at 81% to 88% during these months. April and October are particularly notable, combining strong ground swell presence (81% and 73%, respectively) with relatively better wind conditions (36% good wind days). Swell size remains consistent at 0.6–0.7 meters during these months, offering rideable waves without being overly large. The summer months (June–August) maintain high ground swell probabilities (85–88%), but offshore winds are less reliable (only 22–28% good wind days), which can make conditions more hit-or-miss. Winter months (November–February) see a drop in ground swell frequency (38–50%) and fewer good wind days (23–29%), though February can occasionally provide decent sessions when swell and wind align. March and September are transitional months, with March showing improved swell consistency (64%) and September maintaining decent ground swell (83%) with slightly better wind odds (35%). Overall, April and October are the most balanced months for quality surf at First Point, delivering a strong likelihood of clean, rideable waves.

First Point in June typically offers small but clean conditions with an average swell height of 0.7m and a long-period swell averaging 15.0s, which helps maintain quality even in smaller sizes. The swell direction is predominantly from the SSW (64.19% of waves in the 0.5-1m range) and S (9.67% in the same range), providing well-aligned energy for the break. However, wave size is generally modest, with very few days exceeding 1.5m. Wind conditions are variable, with only 22% of days offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds for surfing. The most problematic winds come from the SW and WSW, which can create choppy conditions at higher speeds (8.46% and 8.83% in the 10-20kph range, respectively). Overall, June is best suited for experienced surfers who can maximize smaller, slower waves, or those looking for relaxed, mellow sessions. Keep an eye on wind forecasts, as clean conditions are less frequent.
