Conditions at Superbank in January
January: The Summer Slog
January at the Superbank is a battle between tropical easterly energy and a messy summer wind regime. Swell averages 4ft (1.2m) with a period of 8.0s, mostly from E (39%) and ESE (24%), with another 16% from ENE. That puts the bank in 'rideable' territory but rarely firing cleanly. The wind table shows the trouble: NNW (13%), NNE (10%) and N (5%) make up a large onshore share, while favourable SSE (14%) and S (8%) still offer windows. The model says ideal surf conditions only 45% of the time, so the move is to hunt dawn glass before the summer seabreeze messes things up. Air temp sits at 25.0C, water temp at 25.2C, and daily rain averages 4.63mm/day.
