Revolcadero - surf spot statistics

Revolcadero in Mexico offers consistent surf conditions year-round, making it a reliable destination for surfers. The spot is predominantly driven by ground swells, with minimal wind swell interference, ensuring clean and organized waves. The best months for surfing are from November to April, when ground swell presence is nearly 100%, and good wind conditions peak at 62-63% in November, December, and January. During this period, mean swell sizes range between 0.9m and 1.1m, providing manageable yet punchy waves suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions deteriorate slightly from May through September, with good wind percentages dropping to 49-50% and swell sizes increasing to 1.5-1.6m, making sessions more challenging due to occasional onshore winds. October marks a transitional month with improving wind conditions (57% favorable) and decent swell size (1.4m). Overall, the winter and early spring months offer the most balanced conditions—consistent swells, favorable winds, and manageable wave heights—while summer brings larger but less predictable surf. If you prefer smaller, cleaner waves, November through February is ideal, while those seeking bigger swells should target June through September, though with a higher chance of wind interference.

December at Revolcadero offers consistent but generally small surf, with an average swell height of 0.9m and a solid period of 14.2s, indicating well-spaced, clean waves. The dominant swell directions are SSW (46.45% of waves between 0.5-1m) and S/SSW for slightly larger waves (1-1.5m), suggesting mostly waist- to chest-high conditions with occasional shoulder-high sets. The wind is favorable 63% of the time, typically light to moderate from the NNE to ENE (5–20kph), which keeps conditions clean. However, stronger ENE winds (6–30kph) can occasionally create chop. Overall, the spot is best suited for beginners or longboarders due to the smaller wave heights, though the rare bigger SSW pulses (1.5-2m) could offer shortboard-friendly sections when they appear. Expect a mix of playful, mellow waves with good shape when the wind cooperates.
