The summer months (May to September) see a significant drop in ground swells (9-46%) in favor of wind swells, which are less ideal. Swell size decreases to 1.0-1.2m, and onshore winds become more prevalent (68-78% bad wind days), making conditions choppier and less predictable. April and September mark transitional periods, with April still offering decent ground swells (64%) but worsening winds (70% bad wind days), while September begins the return of better swell but still struggles with wind quality (68% bad wind days).
