The Streets seasonal overview
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.

Conditions at The Streets in November
November at The Streets offers generally rideable conditions, though with some variability. The average swell height is 0.9m, paired with a decent 8.9s period, providing clean, workable waves. The majority of swell comes from ENE (21.89% in the 0.5-1m range and 8.15% in the 1-1.5m range) and E (20.96% in 0.5-1m, 9.09% in 1-1.5m), ensuring consistent, well-shaped waves. Larger swells (1.5m+) are less frequent but occur often enough to deliver solid sessions, particularly on ENE swells. Wind conditions are the limiting factor—only 14% of the time are winds ideal for surfing (light offshore or sideshore). ENE and NE winds dominate, frequently blowing in the 10-30kph range, which can create choppy or cross-shore conditions. Surfers should monitor wind forecasts closely, as early mornings or wind shifts may provide cleaner windows. Overall, November is fair with potential for good days, especially when ENE swells coincide with lighter winds. Intermediate to advanced surfers will find the most opportunity, while smaller days cater to beginners.
