El Rincon Swell Statistics, Autumn: Surf with Light or Offshore Winds

This image shows only the swells directed at El Rincon that coincided with light winds or offshore conditions through a typical northern hemisphere autumn. It is based on 3672 predictions, one every 3 hours. The direction of the spokes show where quality surf generating swell comes from. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. Green and yellow represent increasing swell sizes and red shows biggest swells greater than >3m (>10ft). In either graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how frequently that size swell happens.

The diagram suggests that the dominant swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was S, whereas the the prevailing wind blows from the NNW. The chart at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. For example, swells larger than 1.5 feet (0.5m) coincided with good wind conditions 0.6% of the time, equivalent to 1 days. Open sea swells exceeding >3m (>10ft) are unlikely to arise in a normal northern hemisphere autumn but 7% of the time you can expect swell in the range 1.3-2m (4-6.5ft) 7%, equivalent to (6 days). Taking into account the proportion of these swells that coincided with predicted offshore winds, and given the fact that El Rincon is quite sheltered from open water swells, we calculate that clean surf can be found at El Rincon about 0.6% of the time and that surf is messed up by onshore wind 1.4% of the time. This is means that we expect 2 days with waves in a typical northern hemisphere autumn, of which 1 days should be surfable.
