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.

September: The Swell Begins to Return

September marks the transition back toward bigger swell as the Pacific storm track becomes more active. Average swell height climbs to 1.0m with a period of 9.3s – the highest average period since April. The swell direction becomes more north: ENE remains dominant at 33.5%, but NE swell jumps to 22.5% and NNE to 7.1%. Wind quality remains good, with 47% ideal offshore flow from the south to southwest. However, the wind patterns start to show an increase in northerly components (N, NNE, NE) as the season shifts. September offers the best combination of decent swell and clean wind, especially in the first half of the month. Late-season typhoons can deliver powerful, long-period swell bursts that fire up the points. Keep an eye on the western Pacific – these systems often provide the first taste of winter-like conditions.
