Margara - surf spot statistics

Margarita in the United States offers varying surf conditions throughout the year, with the best months typically being from late fall through early spring when ground swells are more consistent and winds are less likely to disrupt conditions. The most favorable period is from October to March, with October standing out due to a solid balance of ground swell (35%) and decent wind conditions (48% good winds). Ground swells during this month provide better quality waves, averaging 1.1m, and wind interference is relatively low compared to other months. November and December also see solid ground swell presence (31–34%) but suffer from worsening wind conditions (25–31% favorable), which can make sessions inconsistent despite the larger mean swell size (1.5–1.6m). From January to March, ground swells remain steady (30–34%), though wind conditions are less reliable (29–33% good winds), making these months a mix of good surf days and challenging sessions with onshore winds. April marks a decline in swell size (1.3m) and ground swell contribution (30%), though wind conditions improve slightly (37% good winds). May through September is the least consistent period, dominated by wind swells (77–97%) and smaller waves (0.9–1.1m), though September shows a slight rebound in ground swell (28%) and better wind chances (48%). Summer months (June-August) are the least ideal, with minimal ground swell, choppier conditions, and winds often unfavorable for clean surf. Overall, October is the peak month at Margarita, offering the best compromise between swell quality and wind conditions, while winter months bring larger waves but higher wind interference.

April at Margara offers moderately consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.3m and a decent period of 9.7s, suggesting mostly clean, organized waves. The best conditions come from NNE to NE directions, which dominate the swell distribution, producing waves in the 0.5-2.5m range (peaking around 1-1.5m). Larger swells (over 2.5m) are rare, making it more suitable for intermediate surfers. Wind is a mixed bag—37% of the time it's ideal (likely offshore from W to NW), but ENE to E winds (prevailing 10-30kph) can create choppy conditions, especially in the afternoons. Spring winds are inconsistent, so early mornings often provide the cleanest sessions. Overall, expect rideable waves most days, with the best windows when swell aligns with lighter offshore winds.
