Beginner (green waves) (knee to chest high): no month on most days · Intermediate (chest high to just overhead): most days in Aug–Jun · Advanced (head high and up): most days in Apr–Oct
On most days the wave at the peak is bigger than chest high at every spot on our list for this level. All of them are open to the swell: there may be smaller waves on the inside or in sheltered corners that the model cannot see.
Model estimate: no suitable buoy within 50 km to check it against.
Surf Goddess Retreats says: "the dry season (May to September) is generally the best for beginners, especially on the west coast beaches" - our figures read fewer first-lessons days in those months than in the rest of the year, so take them as a guide. (camp’s page)
Days that miss first lessons are too small when every learner spot is under 0.5 m, and too big when none is in the 0.5–2 m band and one is above it. The other levels are read on the face of the wave at its peak: beginner on green waves 0.6–1.2 m, intermediate 1.2–2 m, advanced 1.5 m and up.
