December: Summer Grind Before the Storm Track
December rounds out the year with summer fully in place. The average swell is 5ft (1.6m), period 8.4s, and the wave rose is heavy in the ENE/E/ESE quadrant - those directions make up 56.6% of the total. The favored SE/SSE/S/SSW window hangs around 35%, so Camacho still sees waves, but they lack the period and power of winter. NE winds are the strongest single sector at 25.9%, while ideal wind improves slightly to 23% compared to November. This means more clean mornings but even more short-period chop in the afternoon.
Air temperature averages 23.6°C and water is warm at 22.7°C, with rainfall at 4.11 mm/day. December is a time for small-wave boards and quick summer sessions. The good news is that every passing cold front to the south is a reminder that the premium groundswell season is just around the corner.
