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.

October at The Streets offers mostly small to mid-sized swell with an average height of 0.9m and a decent period of 8.8s, suggesting some potential for quality rides when conditions align. The dominant swell directions are ENE and E, contributing the majority of waves in the 0.5-1.5m range, with ENE swells more likely to produce overhead sets (1.5-2.5m). While clean conditions are relatively rare (only 12% of the time), the best chances come from NE to E winds, which are most favorable when light (0-20kph). However, winds from NE to ENE frequently reach 20-30kph, creating choppy or cross-shore conditions. Stronger windswell from these directions may occasionally improve shape but can also make things messy. Overall, October is inconsistent but can deliver decent sessions when ENE/E swells coincide with lighter NNE to E winds—keep an eye on forecasts for those cleaner days.
