Conditions at Two Mile/Easter Reef in January
January: Mid-Summer Lulls & South-Facing Windows
The Southern Ocean generates an average 8ft (2.4m) of SW groundswell in January, with periods around 11.7s, but quality is dictated by the local sea breeze cycle. A dominant SW swell signal - 34% from SW and another 12% from SSW - keeps waves rolling in, yet the same SSW/SW directions show up as onshore winds 21% of the time, and further S/SE flow adds more chop. The upshot is that wave heights are often in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) class, but the surface is frequently bumpy. Only 22% of the time do you get the ideal N/NNE/NE/NW offshore flow, usually in the early morning before the seabreeze kicks in. Water temperature sits at a comfortable 18.2°C, air at 18.1°C, and rainfall is low at 1.49mm/day, so try to score the clean dawn window.
