State's Avenue - surf spot statistics

State's Avenue generally experiences a mix of wind swells and ground swells throughout the year, with wind swells dominating the swell regime. The best months for surfing tend to be late summer and early fall, particularly September, which offers the highest percentage of ground swells (24%) and relatively better wind conditions (24% good winds). Swell size also peaks slightly in March and September (0.9m mean), though the difference is marginal compared to other months. Wind conditions remain challenging year-round, with the highest probability of favorable winds occurring from May to August (21-22%). However, even in these months, bad wind conditions still prevail most of the time. Ground swells are rare overall, only exceeding 10% in January, March, August, September, October, and December. If prioritizing quality over consistency, September stands out due to the higher ground swell contribution, slightly larger waves, and marginally better wind stats. Most other months see predominantly wind swells with small to average wave heights and frequent onshore winds, making conditions inconsistent and often suboptimal for high-performance surfing. Early fall provides the best balance, while winter and spring tend to be wind-affected and less reliable.

June at State's Avenue offers generally small but surfable conditions, with an average swell height of 0.7m and a decent period of 7.3s, providing some energy for softer waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the SE to SSE, making up the majority of rideable waves, with most falling in the 0.5-1m range (23.44% SSE, 19.79% SE). Larger waves (1-1.5m) are less frequent but do occur, mainly from the SSE (4.66%) and ESE (2.65%). Wind conditions are a mixed bag—only 22% of the time are they ideal for surfing, with lighter winds (0-20kph) being most common. However, SSW and SW winds (6.62% and 6.12% at 10-20kph, respectively) can create choppier conditions, while stronger winds above 20kph are less frequent but still present. Overall, June is a month for smaller, more mellow sessions, with the best windows occurring when lighter winds align with the dominant SE swell directions. Advanced surfers may find occasional punchier waves, but most days will be suited for relaxed, fun-sized surfing.
