One Palm Point - surf spot statistics
One Palm Point seasonal overview
Best Surf Season (April - June)
As the Indian Ocean monsoon trough shifts north, the trade winds relax and One Palm Point enters its prime window. During these months, long-period groundswells from the deep south (SSW to SW) wrap around the point, delivering consistent, powerful waves averaging 1.5 to 1.8m. More importantly, the wind regime becomes dominated by favourable S to WSW offshore breezes, grooming the waves into clean, rippable lines. With ideal wind conditions 48-60% of the time, this is the epicentre of the year for surfers chasing quality, smooth faces and decent size.
Fair Surf Season (November - March)
The fair season coincides with the early and late winter monsoon. Swell heights hold steady around 1.5m with good periods of 12-13 seconds, primarily from the SSW to WSW quadrants. However, the wind blows onshore from the NW to WNW more frequently, limiting clean conditions to roughly 15-42% of the time. When the offshore windows align with the occasional wrap-around swell, the point can fire, but consistency is lacking; you'll need to pick the right days.
Low Surf Season (July - October)
Mid to late summer sees the Indian Ocean roaring with powerful long-period swells, peaking at 2.0-2.1m in August and September. Yet, these months are humbling for One Palm Point. The wind becomes overwhelmingly cross-onshore from the SE to SSE, with ideal offshore conditions dropping to a mere 10-21%. The combination of big, raw swell and choppy, onshore wind makes for challenging, often unsurfable conditions. Only the rare, fleeting window of a southerly shift offers hope.

Conditions at One Palm Point in February
February: Similar Flavour, Slightly More Consistency
February mirrors January with an average height of 1.5m and a period of 12.3s. The swell distribution is nearly identical: SSW (37.4%) and SW (31.3%) dominate, with a touch more WSW energy (20.6%) compared to January. This subtle shift can sometimes bring a bit more wrap-around. Wind patterns remain challenging: ideal offshore wind still only accounts for 15% of the time, and the onshore NW to WNW flow persists at nearly 43%. The surf is generally fun-sized and punchy, but you'll need to wait for a southerly change to avoid the surface chop.
