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.

May at Puro Pinget offers generally small surf conditions, with an average swell height of 0.6m and a modest 5.5s period, indicating weaker, less powerful waves. The swell is predominantly from the NNW, WSW, and SW directions, contributing to the majority of the waves, though heights rarely exceed 1.5m—most waves fall in the 0-1m range (around 70% of the time). Wind conditions are mixed, with only 21% of days offering ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (mainly from the E to SE). However, stronger onshore winds from the S to WSW are common, which can degrade wave quality. Surfers should expect smaller, inconsistent waves with occasional clean sessions when winds align favorably. Not a high-performance month, but suitable for relaxed surfing or beginners when conditions cooperate.
