Puro Pinget - surf spot statistics

Puro Pinget in the Philippines is primarily a windswell-dominated spot with minimal ground swell influence throughout the year. The best surfing conditions typically occur from June to December when windswell probabilities are highest, and mean swell sizes are more favorable. June to August offers decent swell consistency (69-81% windswell) with slightly better wind conditions (27-30% good winds), though offshore winds remain relatively rare. September stands out as the optimal month with a solid 76% windswell probability, 35% favorable wind conditions (the highest of the year), and a manageable 1.0m mean swell size—making it the most balanced period for surfers. October to December sees an increase in swell size (1.2-1.4m) and windswell frequency (83-89%), but strong onshore winds become more prevalent, particularly in December (86% bad winds). Early-season months (January-February) have decent swell energy but suffer from poor wind conditions (82-83% bad winds), while March-May is the least consistent with high no-swell days (38-54%) and smaller waves (0.6-0.8m). Overall, intermediates to advanced surfers will find the late dry season (June-September) the most reliable, with September offering the best compromise between swell and wind. However, expect mostly chest-high waves with occasional overhead sets during peak months.

In August, Puro Pinget offers surfable conditions with an average swell height of 1.3m and a decent period of 7.3s, providing clean, manageable waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the southwest (SW, WSW), contributing to the majority of rideable waves in the 0.5-2.5m range, with the highest frequency between 0.5-1.5m. These swells are well-organized but somewhat inconsistent, with smaller or weaker waves coming from other directions. Wind conditions are critical, and only 27% of the time are ideal for surfing, typically when winds are light (0-20kph) and from favorable directions. Stronger winds, particularly from the south (S, SSW), can create choppy or onshore conditions, reducing ride quality. Overall, August delivers surfable days with fun, mid-sized waves, but patience and timing are key to scoring the best sessions when winds align. Advanced surfers will find opportunities, though wave power may be limited due to the moderate period and height. Keep an eye on wind forecasts to maximize sessions.
