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.

January at The Streets offers surfers a mix of conditions with moderate consistency. The average swell height sits at 0.8m, paired with a decent period of 8.7s, suggesting mostly manageable waves with occasional punchy energy when sets line up. The dominant swell directions are from ENE and E, which ensure moderately clean, surfable waves—particularly in the 0.5-1.5m range. However, larger swells (1.5-2.5m) occur less frequently, mostly from ENE and E, offering more powerful but less consistent opportunities. Wind conditions are hit-or-miss, with only 18% of days providing ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically from W, WNW, or NW). Unfortunately, stronger onshore winds (10-30kph) from NE and E are more common, leading to choppy or less clean surfaces. For advanced surfers, patience and timing are key—wait for the ENE swells with lighter NW winds for the best sessions. Overall, expect smaller, playful waves with occasional quality days when wind and swell align.
