Indicators - surf spot statistics

The best months for surfing at Indicators, United States, are from November through March, with consistent swell activity and relatively favorable wind conditions. During this period, ground swell percentages range from 27% to 31%, while wind swell remains strong at 55-58% in November, December, and January, ensuring frequent rideable waves. Mean swell height hovers around 0.9 meters, providing decent wave energy. Wind conditions are most favorable in November (49% good winds) and October (45% good winds), though winter months like December and January still offer manageable wind patterns (43-45% good winds) despite higher bad wind probabilities. April and October can also be decent transitional months, with ground swell at 24% and moderate wave heights (0.7m). The summer months (May-September) are the least ideal due to a high percentage of no swell days (49-74%) and poor wind conditions (71-95% bad winds), along with smaller waves (0.4-0.6m). For the most reliable surf, late fall to early winter delivers the best combination of consistent swell, wave size, and manageable winds.

December at this surf spot offers generally small but rideable conditions, with an average swell height of 0.9m and a decent period of 9.9s, suggesting clean, organized waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the NNE and NNW directions (accounting for the majority of waves in the 0.5–2m range), which should align well with the beach orientation for quality peaks. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 45% of the time, with ENE and E winds being the most frequent but often too strong (10–30kph), potentially creating choppy or onshore conditions. However, lighter winds from the W, WNW, or NW directions—though less common—could provide cleaner conditions. Expect smaller, manageable waves (0.5–1.5m) most frequently, with occasional head-high sets (1.5–2m) mainly from NNE/NNW. For advanced surfers, the best opportunities will be during lighter wind windows or when NNE/NNW swells push through with enough size and period to shape up properly. Beginners may find the smaller days (0.5–1m) manageable, but consistency is moderate. Keep an eye on wind forecasts, as the prevailing ENE/E flow can quickly deteriorate conditions.
