Wind conditions improve significantly from April onward, with good wind days peaking at 46% in August—offering cleaner, more rideable waves. The worst wind conditions are from January to March (76–82% bad winds), making these months less ideal despite decent ground swell percentages.

November and December bring more mixed conditions, with increasing wind swell and deteriorating wind quality. For the best all-around surf experience, focus on the mid-year window when ground swell consistency pairs with improving offshore winds, particularly from May to August. Note that wave size remains modest year-round, so this spot suits those prioritizing consistency over power.
