La Setenta - surf spot statistics

La Setenta in Cuba is primarily a windswell-driven spot, with ground swells being practically nonexistent throughout the year. The best months for surfers are from October to December, when windswell frequency peaks at 47-62%, and the mean swell size ranges between 0.6-0.7m. November stands out as the most consistent month, with the highest windswell probability (62%) and decent swell size (0.7m). December also offers favorable conditions, with 58% windswell occurrence and the best wind conditions of the year (19% good winds). January and February follow closely with moderate windswell activity (50-56%), though wind conditions remain poor (84-85% bad winds). From March onward, surfable conditions decline significantly, with windswell dropping below 50% and swell size diminishing. The summer months (June-September) are particularly flat, with minimal windswell (11-16%) and extremely unfavorable winds (93-96% bad winds). For surfers seeking rideable waves, the window from late autumn to early winter (October-December) is the optimal period, despite generally onshore winds. Spring and summer are best avoided due to lack of swell and poor wind alignment. Patience and a flexible schedule are key, as even in peak months, good wind days remain below 20%.

June at La Setenta, Cuba, is generally a very quiet month for surfers, with minimal swell activity and inconsistent conditions. The average swell height is just 0.3m with a short 4.2s period, indicating weak, unorganized waves that lack power. The majority of swells come from the NE (36.44% under 0.5m, 6.54% between 0.5-1m), followed by ENE and NNW, but almost all waves remain under 1m—barely surfable for anything beyond small boards or longboarding in rare cases. Wind conditions are rarely favorable, with only 4% of days offering ideal surf winds. The dominant winds blow from the E and ENE at 10-20kph (16.23% and 10.62% respectively), often creating choppy or onshore conditions. Stronger winds (>20kph) are uncommon but can further degrade wave quality. In short, June is a low-season month here, best suited for beginner-friendly micro waves or flat-water activities unless an unusual swell appears. Expect mostly flat or gutless conditions with limited ridable days. (Note: Spot orientation intentionally omitted as requested.)
