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.

February at Indicators offers relatively small but consistent surf, with an average swell height of 0.9m and a decent period of 9.9s, providing rideable waves most days. The most productive swell directions are NNE (16.36% in the 0.5-1m range) and NNW (21.54% in the 0.5-1m range and 9.09% in 1-1.5m), delivering the majority of waves. While larger swells over 1.5m are rare (peaking at 4.32% NNW), the conditions are generally manageable for intermediate surfers. The biggest challenge is wind—only 42% of the time is it ideal, with ENE and E winds dominating, often blowing 10-30kph (30.68% ENE and 29.71% E in this range), which can create choppy or cross-shore conditions. However, lighter winds (0-10kph) occasionally occur (16.15% combined from all directions), offering cleaner sessions. Since larger swells are infrequent, expect mostly small to mid-sized waves with variable wind impact, making it a hit-or-miss month that rewards patience and flexible scheduling.
