Shitovaya, Russia, is a surf spot primarily influenced by wind swells, with minimal to no ground swell contribution throughout the year. The best months for surfers are generally April and May, when wind swell occurrence peaks at 57-59%, and the likelihood of good wind conditions is slightly higher at around 12%, compared to the rest of the year. However, even in these months, the mean swell size remains relatively small at 0.6m, indicating mostly weak to moderate surf conditions. The rest of the year sees lower wind swell frequency (36-55%) and predominantly bad wind conditions (88-97%), making consistent surf sessions rare. Winter months (December-February) are particularly challenging due to frequent no-swell days and unfavorable winds. Overall, Shitovaya is not a high-performance surf destination, but if you're looking for the most reliable windows, late spring (April-May) offers marginally better opportunities, though expect small, wind-driven waves and often less-than-ideal offshore winds. The lack of ground swell and generally poor wind conditions mean surfers should temper expectations—this is more of a spot for opportunistic sessions when local conditions align rather than a year-round surf haven.
