Present indications are that the current Sunspot Cycle is a fairly quiet one, but this is a very variable measure. The number of sunspots is difficult to predict.
The sunspot number is not a simple count of individual spots, and the Wolf Number is conventionally used.
The expected maximum will probably be a little delayed, based on predictions.
The current cycle is known as number 24.
By convention, the cycle is considered to repeat every 11 years, but the cycle may be a 22 year one in fact.
The spots drift in general, towards the Sun's Equator, or away from it, depending on the latitude (N or S) from the Sun's equator. Sunspots seldom occur beyond 30o from the Equator.

What do scientists think Causes sunspots?
Astronomers have known for many years that sunspots are "storms" on the sun's surface, and also that solar prominences seen flaring from the sun during an eclipse probably come from sunspots. what they do not know - yet - is why the sunspots occur in farily regular cycles of many, gradually diminishing to few, and then rising again to many. Times of high sunspot activity are usually also times of high Northern Lights activity and radio interference on earth.
