December: Flat Spells and a Need for Patience
December is the low point of the year at Jake's Point. The average height still reads 6ft (1.9m) on paper, but the average period sinks to 9.4s, meaning plenty of that energy is short-period windswell mixed in with SSW groundswell. SSW dominates with 56%, S adds 19%, SW 14%, and WSW barely reaches 1%; the spot is too far from the west/northwest swell window for consistent quality.
Wind doesn't help. Ideal offshore flow is only 16% - the lowest of the year - while S (36%) and SSE (23%) dominate. Christmas-time conditions are often a battle between warm land breezes, sea breezes and southerly windswell. Water temp climbs to 22.2°C, air to 25.3°C, and rain is scarce. If you want waves, chase early mornings and pray for a pulse of W/SW groundswell to light up the point.
