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.

March at this surf spot offers generally small to moderate conditions, with an average swell height of 0.9m and a decent period of 9.9s, suggesting cleaner, more organized waves. The predominant swell directions are from the N, NNE, and NNW, which account for most of the rideable waves, particularly in the 0.5-2m range. Waves above 2m are rare (under 2% combined), so expect mostly manageable surf, best suited for intermediate surfers or those favoring smaller, playful waves. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 43% of the time, with the most critical issue being ENE and E winds (often 10-30kph), which can create onshore chop. However, lighter winds (0-20kph) from the N, NW, or NNW provide cleaner conditions when paired with the dominant swell directions. Overall, March delivers consistent but smaller surf, with the best sessions occurring when winds align from the N or NW, avoiding stronger easterly flows. It’s not a big-wave month, but there are plenty of fun, rippable days.
