Conditions at Noosa Heads in December
December: Holiday Season, Onshore Winds and Warm Water
December rounds out the year with similar challenges to November. The average swell is 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) with a short 7.9s period, and ideal wind sits at just 31%. E and ESE swells still make up nearly half the readings, and ENE/NE/NNE swells are present, but the wind rose is again dominated by the east to north-northwest quadrants. SE winds are the most common at 15.7%, followed by NNW at 14.0% and ESE at 11.9%; the offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW sector is only 7.6%. With air at 24.1°C, water at 25.1°C and holiday crowds adding to the mix, dawn patrol is the only reliable way to find clean water. Surfable but rarely classic - save the high-expectation trips for autumn.
