Pine Trees - surf spot statistics

Pine Trees, USA, is a surf spot with highly consistent ground swell throughout the year, rarely dropping below 93% presence in any month. The swell is primarily ground swell-dominated, rarely mixing with wind swell or going flat, making it a reliable destination for surfers. The best months for surfing are typically from November to February, when the mean swell size is slightly larger (1.0–1.2m) compared to the rest of the year (0.8m). Wind conditions are most favorable from October through December, with good wind percentages peaking at 59–61%. While summer months (June–September) maintain surfable conditions, the swell size remains consistently smaller at 0.8m, slightly limiting the potential for bigger waves. Winter months offer a better balance of swell size and cleaner winds, though wind quality never drops below 50% favorable in any month, ensuring decent surfing opportunities year-round. For surfers prioritizing bigger waves and optimal wind alignment, late fall to early winter (November–January) stands out as the prime time. However, those looking for a more relaxed session with consistent, albeit smaller waves can still enjoy good conditions in the summer.
