Lances Right - surf spot statistics

Lances Right is a renowned surf spot in Indonesia that offers consistent ground swell year-round, making it a reliable destination for surfers. The best months for optimal conditions are typically from April to June, when the swell is powerful and clean, with mean swell sizes ranging from 1.1m to 1.3m. During this period, ground swell dominates at 98-100%, ensuring high-quality waves with minimal wind swell interference. Wind conditions are most favorable in February, with 58% good wind days, though by May and June, onshore winds increase, reducing the percentage of favorable wind days to 33-40%. From July to September, the swell remains strong at 1.3m, but wind conditions deteriorate significantly, with only 19-24% of days offering good winds, making it less ideal for most surfers despite the solid swell. The early season (January-March) and late season (October-December) provide decent conditions with swell sizes around 1.0-1.1m, but wind reliability varies, peaking in February and declining toward the end of the year. Overall, the prime window for the best combination of swell size, consistency, and manageable winds is April to June, with February also standing out for wind conditions despite slightly smaller waves.

November at Lance's Right delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.1m and a solid 13.6s period, indicating well-formed, powerful waves. The dominant swell direction is SW to SSW, contributing to the majority of rideable waves in the 0.5-1.5m range (peaking at 1-1.5m), which ensures quality, lined-up walls. Larger sets (1.5-2.5m) occur less frequently but provide heavier, more hollow sections when they arrive. Wind conditions are surfable 40% of the time, typically light (under 20kph) from the N to NNW early in the month, shifting to favorable offshore patterns (E to SE) later, though stronger W to NW winds can occasionally disrupt sessions. Expect peaky, rippable walls on mid-tide with occasional throaty barrels on lower tides, especially when SW swell aligns with lighter winds—best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers.
