Conditions at Cabo Ledo in December
December: A Fun-Sized Finish
December closes the year the way January began: small but surprisingly clean. Average swell drops to 3ft (1.0m) and the period remains a respectable 12 seconds. The sea breeze tends to be lighter over the summer months, and offshore S/SSW/SW flow is ideal 70 percent of the time - one of the better wind months of the year.
Swell heights are evenly split between the 0.5-1m and 1-1.5m classes, with only rare bigger pulses. Water temperature sits at 26.1°C, perfect for boardshorts, while the first convective showers of the wet season pass through intermittently. This is a fun, cruisy finisher: not the heavy classic Cabo Ledo, but clean 3-4ft (1-1.2m) sets on a glassy morning still offer plenty of stoke.
