Maria's - surf spot statistics

Maria's in the United States offers varying surf conditions throughout the year, with the best months typically characterized by consistent ground swells, favorable wind conditions, and larger wave sizes. The prime season runs from November through March, when ground swells dominate (48-54% of the time) and wave heights average 1.1m to 1.3m. December stands out with excellent wind conditions (73% good) and solid swell size (1.3m), making it one of the most reliable months for quality waves. January also delivers strong conditions with a high percentage of ground swells (54%) and good winds (65%). February and March remain decent, though wind conditions become slightly less favorable. From April onward, the surf quality declines as wind swells become more prevalent and wave heights drop below 1.0m. Summer months (June-August) are the least consistent, with minimal ground swells (1-8%) and poor wind conditions (70-82% bad). September and October mark a transition period—ground swells return (54-55%), but wind reliability remains inconsistent until November, when conditions improve dramatically. For surfers seeking the best experience at Maria's, late fall to early winter (November-January) is the optimal window, offering powerful, clean waves with minimal surf disruptions.

In March, Maria's typically offers fair to good surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.3m and a solid average period of 11.2s, indicating consistent, well-organized waves. The majority of swells come from the NNE (21.89% in the 1-1.5m range) and NE directions, providing clean, rideable waves with occasional larger sets up to 2.5m from the N and NNW. Wind conditions are favorable 53% of the time, with the most common offshore or light winds originating from the NNE to ENE. However, stronger onshore winds (10-30kph) from the N to E quadrants can occasionally disrupt conditions. Surfers can expect a mix of mid-sized, well-spaced waves with good shape, especially on days with NNE swell and lighter winds. While not always epic, March delivers reliable surf with enough quality sessions to make it worthwhile for intermediate to advanced surfers.
