Krishna River - surf spot statistics

The Krishna River surf spot in India offers a mix of ground and wind swells throughout the year, with variable conditions depending on the season. The best months for surfing are typically from October to November and occasionally March, when swell consistency, wind conditions, and wave size align favorably. During October and November, ground swells make up around 33-39% of the swell mix, while wind swells dominate at 54-62%. The key advantage in these months is the higher percentage of good wind conditions (26-27%) compared to the rest of the year, reducing the likelihood of onshore chop. Mean swell sizes hover around 1.0-1.1m, providing manageable waves for intermediate to advanced surfers. March also shows decent potential with 41% ground swell, 50% wind swell, and slightly better wind conditions (21% good winds). The worst period is from May to September, where bad wind conditions peak (87-96%), making the spot challenging despite larger swells (1.3-1.7m). From December to February, ground swell percentages drop (30-43%), and bad winds remain high (73-82%), though wave size is smaller (0.8-1.0m). Overall, October and November stand out as the most reliable months for cleaner waves and better surfing conditions at Krishna River.

In July, the Krishna River surf spot offers moderate conditions with an average swell height of 1.5m and a decent period of 10.5s, suggesting relatively clean and organized waves. The swell distribution is predominantly from the southern quadrant, with **SSE** (46.77%) and **S** (15.52%) directions contributing the most to rideable waves in the 1-2.5m range. The **SSW** and **SW** directions also bring some larger waves (1.5-2.5m+), though less frequently. Wind conditions are challenging, with only 6% of the time offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (mostly from the **SSE to E** range). Stronger onshore winds, particularly from the **SW to W** directions, are common, with speeds often exceeding 20kph, which can create choppy conditions. Surfers should watch for windows when winds ease or switch favorably, as the swell itself is fairly consistent but wind quality is the limiting factor this time of year. Overall, expect rideable waves with occasional clean peaks, but patience and timing will be key.
