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.

September at Indicators offers generally small but rideable conditions, with an average swell height of 0.6m and a decent period of 9.1s, providing some energy for softer waves. The primary swell directions with the most consistency are from the N, NNE, and NNW, where 80% of waves fall in the 0-1.5m range, with occasional larger sets up to 2.5m (though rare). The NNE direction dominates mid-sized swells (0.5-1m at 16.33%), while the NNW brings slightly more power (8.52% at 0.5-1m and 2.26% at 1-1.5m). Wind conditions are a mixed bag—only 27% of the time are they ideal for surfing, with the most favorable winds coming from the W, WSW, and NW directions (light to moderate speeds below 20kph). However, ENE and E winds are frequent and often strong (10-30kph in 32% of cases), which can create choppy or onshore conditions. Surfers should watch for windows of clean conditions, particularly when swells from the NNE or NNW combine with lighter offshore winds. Expect mostly small, fun-sized waves with occasional larger days, but wind management will be key.
