Pleasure Point - surf spot statistics

Pleasure Point in the United States offers consistent surf year-round, but the best conditions typically arrive during the winter and early spring months. From January to April, ground swell dominates with percentages between 85-88%, providing reliable wave energy with mean swell sizes ranging from 1.0 to 1.3 meters. Wind conditions are most favorable from April to June, where good wind days peak at 66-69%, reducing the likelihood of onshore chop. February and March strike a solid balance, with decent swell size (1.1-1.2m) and a near-even split between good and bad wind days. Summer months (June-August) see smaller, less consistent swells (0.7-0.8m) and more wind swell interference, though June still has relatively clean wind conditions. Fall (September-November) brings a gradual return of ground swell, but wind quality remains inconsistent, hovering around 50-59% favorable. December has strong swell presence but suffers from higher bad wind percentages (58%). For surfers prioritizing size and quality, winter and early spring deliver the most reliable conditions, while late spring and early summer offer cleaner but smaller waves. Advanced surfers may prefer the bigger winter swells, while beginners might find summer and early fall more approachable due to reduced wave heights.

Pleasure Point in May offers generally favorable conditions for surfers, with an average swell height of 0.9m and a strong period of 13.8s, indicating well-spaced, clean waves. The dominant swell direction comes from the SSW and SW, which works well for this break, producing rideable waves in the 0.5-1.5m range the majority of the time (over 50% combined). Larger swells (1.5-2.5m) are less frequent but still possible, particularly from the W and WNW directions, though they make up a smaller percentage of conditions. Wind is optimal for surfing 66% of the time, with the most favorable light to moderate breezes typically coming from the WSW to WNW directions. Stronger winds (20-30kph) occasionally occur from the NW and WNW but are less common. Overall, May provides consistent, manageable waves with good shape and minimal wind disruption, making it a reliable month for intermediate to advanced surfers.
