Majestics - surf spot statistics

Best Surf Season (October & March)

October and March serve as the sweet spot at Majestics, balancing solid swell with the highest probability of offshore winds. October sees an average swell height of 1.4m with a period of 9.6s, often from the NE and ENE – perfect for this north-facing beach. The frequency of ideal south to southwest winds jumps to 18% in October, offering more clean windows than the heart of winter. March, at the tail end of the NE monsoon, delivers similar quality with 1.6m average swell and a 4% chance of perfect conditions, but the wind patterns start to become more variable, making it a gamble worth taking.

Fair Surf Season (November – February)

The core winter months from November through February are when the Pacific storm track fires up, generating powerful long-period swell that pounds the coast. January and December average over 2.1m at 9+ seconds – that's firing, heavy, and pumping. However, the prevailing northeast trade winds are strongly onshore at Majestics, corrupting the wave face a majority of the time. The ideal wind percentages plummet to just 2-6%, meaning you have to be patient and pick your windows. But when a cold front pushes through and the wind swings to the south or southwest, you get a combination of size and glass that makes the wait worthwhile. November and February are similar, with slightly less size but still plenty of power – the key is timing the wind.

Low Surf Season (April – September)

From April through September, the southwest monsoon dominates the region, bringing consistent southerly quarter winds that blow directly offshore at Majestics. This is great news for wind quality – ideal conditions occur 36-53% of the time from May to August. The trade-off is a dramatic drop in swell size, with average heights falling to 1.0m or less from May to September. The swell direction also shifts to more easterly and even southerly sources, which are not as optimal for this north-facing exposure. Nonetheless, these months offer fun, clean small waves perfect for longboards and grovelers, especially in the mornings before the seabreeze kicks up.

April: The Swell Fades, Wind Shifts

April sees a further decline in average swell to 1.3m with a period of 8.8s. The dominant swell direction remains ENE (63.8%), but easterly swell now accounts for 22.1%, reflecting the retreat of the monsoon. Wind patterns show a clear evolution: the strong northeasterlies weaken, and winds from the east and southeast take over. Ideal offshore wind from the south to southwest occurs 9% of the time – a big improvement over winter. This means more days with clean, small to fun-sized waves, particularly on a south wind. However, the reduced swell size makes this a month for smaller boards and groveling. Still, when a late-season storm sends a pulse of ENE swell, you can score some surprisingly good sessions.
