Conditions at Pambula Rivermouth in December

December: Thick NE Energy, Onshore Blues

December closes the year with the trade swell freight train. NE (18.1%) and ENE (12.4%) are top of the swell rose, and the average height sits at 5ft (1.6m). Yet onshore NNE (17.0%) and NE (9.6%) winds continue to wreak havoc, capping ideal surf at 20%. The average period is 8.0s, so the wave shape is average and chunky at best. Still, the water is a pleasant 18.7C and the air stays warm, which makes the occasional dawn patrol with SSW offshore (13.6%) all the more rewarding. Pambula's December is all about timing - and a little trade-down luck.
