The Streets - surf spot statistics

The Streets in the United States offers varying surf conditions throughout the year, with the best months typically being September through December. During this period, ground swell percentages increase significantly, peaking in September at 22%, while wind swell remains consistent or slightly elevated. Swell sizes also improve, averaging around 0.7–0.9m, providing more surfable waves. Wind conditions remain challenging year-round, with good wind days rare (10–18%), but late fall and early winter (November–December) see a slight improvement. The worst conditions occur in summer (June–August), where no-swell days dominate (52–61%), and swell size drops to 0.5m. Early spring (March) also shows decent ground swell (16%) but suffers from consistently poor wind conditions (85% bad). For the most reliable surf, target September–December when ground swells are stronger and swell size is more favorable, though always be prepared for tough wind conditions regardless of season.

April at The Streets offers a mix of surf conditions, though generally on the smaller side with limited consistency. The average swell height is 0.7m, paired with a decent period of 8.4s—indicating some potential for rideable energy, though waves will often be soft due to the modest size. The dominant swell directions are ENE and E, accounting for the majority of waves in the 0.5-1.5m range, with ENE swells delivering slightly more power and occasional overhead sets (1.5-2m around 2% of the time). Cross-shore or light onshore winds from the E-ESE are common, but only 14% of wind conditions are truly favorable (likely light offshore or glassy). Wind speeds often hover in the 10-30kph range, which can create chop, especially with SE-ESE flow. Larger swells are rare, as waves exceeding 1.5m make up just 3% of the month. For experienced surfers, a few well-timed ENE swells with lighter winds could provide fun, punchy sections, but expect mostly smaller, slower waves with occasional wind interference. Patience and flexibility will be key to scoring the best sessions.
