San Juan - surf spot statistics
San Juan seasonal overview
Best Surf Season (May & September - October)
During these months, the percentage of offshore or light wind conditions peaks, offering the cleanest surfaces despite the small easterly swell. The average wave height hovers around 0.7-0.8m with periods of 5.9-6.1s, making for fun, groveling conditions on log-style equipment. Although the swell direction remains unfavorably from the east, the lighter winds allow for a decent rideable wave, especially at mid-tide.
Fair Surf Season (November - April)
Winter and early spring bring slightly larger average swell heights (0.8-0.9m) thanks to distant North Atlantic storms, but the dominant easterly wind regime often kicks up onshore chop. Only about 20-25% of the time do we get favorable winds, making it a gamble. The infrequent cold front passage can deliver a brief window of north-northwest swell and southerly offshore winds, but those days are rare and require careful timing.
Low Surf Season (June - August)
Summer sees the strongest easterly trade winds, blowing directly onshore and creating bumpy, messy conditions. Swell remains small (0.8-0.9m) and dominated by short-period easterly energy. With ideal wind percentages dropping to 18-22% in July and August, this is the slowest period for quality surf. June offers a slight uptick in favorable wind, but overall it's a time for small waves and wind protection strategies.

Conditions at San Juan in February
February: Persistently Onshore Pattern
February mirrors January with an average swell of 0.9m and 6.2s period. Swell continues to be dominated by E (44.7%) and ESE (42.4%), with over 70% of significant wave energy in the 0.5-1m range. The wind regime is similarly locked in from the east: E (36%) and ESE (20.7%) combined with NE and ENE account for 82% of all winds. Ideal offshore winds from the south quadrant remain below 2% combined. The result is a month of mostly choppy, mushy surf, with only 23% favorable wind windows. The slight increase in trend from north-northwest swell? Negligible: NNW contributes 0.1% of total swell.
