Volcanic, sharp bottom for the mostpart. Predominetly the Humbolt from the South and Cronwich current from the North can bring some chilly water when swimming into a patch of 63dg F water and then back into close to 80dg F while wearing boardshorts. El Nino a lot of impact getting bigger swell.
Seasonal swell & wind variations:
Big north, NW, W swells during the hawaii season. Big south swells during the southern hemi season. San Cristobal has almost a 360 surfable coastline if you can have access to a boat.
