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.

February at The Streets offers generally small but rideable surf, with an average swell height of 0.8m and a decent period of 8.6s, providing some punch for the size. The dominant swell directions are ENE and E, contributing the most waves in the 0.5-1.5m range, with ENE swells occasionally pushing into the 1.5-2.5m range. However, 17% of the time, winds are ideal (typically light to moderate offshore or cross-offshore), while stronger onshore winds (especially from N, NE, and E) can disrupt conditions. While bigger swells are rare, the spot can still provide fun, clean sessions when wind and swell align—best suited for performance surfing on smaller days or more experienced surfers when it picks up. Wind consistency is a challenge, so timing is key.
