The calmest conditions typically occur in June with average wave heights of 1.6m and wave periods of 8.0s. The most comfortable wave conditions are in June with a low wave steepness ratio, creating gentler swells. January offers the longest wave periods (8.0s), creating more comfortable and predictable conditions for boat entries and exits. Ocean currents are slowest in January (0.5m/s) and strongest in January (0.5m/s). March is usually the driest month with 6.0mm of precipitation. For beginners, the best time to visit would be during June to August, when ocean conditions are calmer with long-period waves and currents are typically weaker. Experienced divers might enjoy the challenges and potentially better visibility during the shoulder seasons, with moderate currents that can improve marine life encounters.
