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 March, Puro Pinget offers predominantly small to moderate waves, with an average swell height of 0.8m and a mid-range period of 6.2s, suggesting somewhat crumbly but rideable conditions. The swell direction is most frequently from the north and north-northwest, with the majority of waves (around 60%) in the 0.5-1.5m range—ideal for intermediates or relaxed surfing. Larger waves (1.5m+) are rare, occurring just 5-6% of the time, mostly from NNW and N directions, offering occasional punchier sections. Wind conditions are inconsistent, with only 18% of days providing clean offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically ENE to ESE). Stronger onshore winds (WNW to NNW) are more common, creating choppier sessions. This spot works best on smaller days when northerly swells meet lighter winds, but expect variability—pack a fish or a funboard for the softer days and be ready for occasional wind-affected sessions.
