During this period, ground swell probability remains high (92-100%), with mean swell sizes ranging from 1.0m to 1.2m. December and January offer the most favorable wind conditions, with good winds occurring over 50% of the time, making them prime months for clean, surfable waves. February and November also provide solid conditions, though winds can be slightly less consistent.

September is the windiest month, with only 27% good wind days. While the waves are larger during these months, the frequent onshore winds can make conditions choppy and less ideal.
