Hyatt Reef - surf spot statistics

Hyatt Reef in Indonesia offers consistent year-round ground swell conditions, with minimal or no wind swell interference, making it a reliable surf destination. The best months for surfing here are from January to March and November to December, when swell consistency remains high (92–98% ground swell) and wind conditions are more favorable compared to the mid-year period. January and February stand out with good wind conditions over 50% of the time, combined with a mean swell size of around 1.6 meters, providing ideal, clean waves. March and December also offer decent wind conditions but with slightly higher variability (45–56% favorable winds). The mid-year period (May–September) sees larger swells (1.8–2.2 meters), but offshore wind conditions deteriorate significantly, with unfavorable winds exceeding 94% of the time, making it much less appealing for surfers seeking clean faces. April and October serve as transitional months, with April having poor winds (only 19% favorable) and October marginally better but still unreliable (6% good winds). Overall, Hyatt Reef delivers the best balance of swell quality and wind conditions in the early and late parts of the year, while the peak swell season (June–August) is more suited to experienced surfers willing to battle the persistent onshore winds.

March at Hyatt Reef offers solid surf conditions with consistent swells and a decent chance of favorable winds. The average swell height is 1.5m with a strong period of 13.8s, producing powerful, well-formed waves. The dominant swell direction is from the SSW (31.4% in the 1-1.5m range and 31.4% in the 1.5-2m range), followed by SW contributions, ensuring clean, rideable waves with good shape. The wind is optimal for surfing 45% of the time, mostly from the W to WSW, which can be offshore or cross-shore, although stronger W winds (20-30kph) may occasionally create choppier conditions. Expect waist-to-head-high waves with occasional larger sets, particularly on SSW swells. Overall, March is a reliable month for intermediate to advanced surfers, with consistent energy and decent wind windows for quality sessions.
