Impossibles - surf spot statistics

Impossibles in Indonesia is a consistent year-round surf spot with near-perfect ground swell dominance, rarely affected by wind swell or flat spells. The best months for surfing here are April, September, October, and November, when optimal wind conditions align with solid swell. April stands out with 100% ground swell, 60% favorable wind conditions, and a mean swell size of 1.6m, making it one of the most reliable months. September also boasts 100% ground swell and balanced wind conditions (51% good), paired with larger waves averaging 2.1m.

The peak swell season runs from June to August, with the biggest waves (2.0-2.2m), but wind conditions are less favorable (only 21-31% good), often resulting in onshore choppiness.

March and May offer decent compromises—March has improving winds (42% good), while May sees larger swells (1.8m) before the summer wind deterioration. Overall, advanced surfers will prioritize April and September-October for the best combo of clean faces and strong ground swells, while those seeking bigger but choppier waves should target June-August.
