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 June, the Krishna River surf spot offers moderately favorable conditions for experienced surfers. The average swell height is 1.7m with a solid 9.7s period, providing decent energy for rideable waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the south-southeast (SSE) and south (S), contributing to well-organized waves, especially in the 1–2.5m range, which occurs frequently. However, wind conditions are less ideal, with only 4% of the time offering clean onshore or cross-shore winds suitable for surfing. The prevailing winds are mostly from the southwest (SW) and south-southwest (SSW) at moderate to strong speeds (10–40kph), which can create choppy or messy surface conditions. While the swell is consistent enough for surfing, wind interference means sessions are best timed during rare lulls or shifts in wind direction. Advanced surfers can still find opportunities, especially when larger swells (1.5–2.5m) coincide with lighter winds. Overall, it's a spot that requires patience and local knowledge to score good sessions in June.
