Red Tree Reef - surf spot statistics

Red Tree Reef is a reliable year-round surf spot, but the best conditions for surfers are concentrated in the winter and early spring months. From November through February, the swell consistency is excellent, with ground swell dominance (67%–82%) and minimal no-swell days. December and January stand out as prime months, offering the largest mean swell sizes (2.8m and 2.4m, respectively). However, these months also come with challenging wind conditions—bad winds prevail over 80% of the time, making clean sessions less frequent. February and March still provide solid swell (2.2m–2.0m) with slightly improved wind percentages (23% good wind days). April marks a transition, with ground swell decreasing (59%) and wind conditions marginally better (29% good winds). The summer months (May–September) see smaller swells (1.1m–1.6m) and a higher mix of wind swell, making conditions less ideal for advanced surfers. October brings a return of larger swells (2.1m) but retains poor wind reliability (79% bad winds). For the best balance of size and fewer onshore days, late winter and early spring (February–April) offer the most favorable trade-offs, though patience is needed for clean windows.

June at Red Tree Reef offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.2m and a solid 11.6s period, providing well-formed waves suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers. The dominant swell direction is from the SSW to SW, contributing to the majority of waves in the 0.5-2.5m range, with the best energy concentrated in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m brackets. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 28% of the time, typically when lighter or offshore winds prevail. However, stronger onshore winds from the W to NW can occasionally disrupt conditions, especially with higher speeds (20-30kph+). Overall, June delivers reliable surf with quality windows, particularly when winds align favorably with the SSW-SW swell direction. Patience and timing will reward surfers with clean, rideable waves.
