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.

November at Maria's offers solid surfing conditions with a good balance of swell and favorable winds. The average swell height is 1.1m with a healthy 11.0s period, providing consistent, well-spaced waves. The majority of swells come from the NNE and NE directions (36.69% combined), contributing to the most rideable waves in the 0.5-1.5m range, while larger swells (1.5-2.5m) occur less frequently but add variety. Wind conditions are ideal 71% of the time, primarily light to moderate (10-20kph) from the NE-ENE-E sectors, ensuring clean faces. Stronger winds (20-30kph) occasionally occur but are manageable. Expect peak conditions when NNE-NE swells meet lighter ENE-E winds—this combo delivers the best shape and size. While larger days (2m+) are rare, the spot remains surfable throughout the month with minimal flat spells. Advanced riders will appreciate the energy in the swell periods, while the consistency makes it reliable for intermediates. Watch for shifting winds later in the month, but overall, November is a prime time to score quality sessions here.
