December: Summer Returns With Punchy Waves
December brings the summer pattern back to Ibiraquera. Average swell height drops to 4ft (1.2m), average period shortens to 8.1s, and E (25.1%), ESE (21.3%) and ENE (20.7%) swells dominate the ocean. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class is the workhorse, with a smattering of 5-6ft (1.5-2m) sets from the E/ESE direction. S and deep-south energy have almost vanished (4.0%). Winds are dominated by NNE (20.7%) and NE (21.2%), and the ideal W/NW offshore flow is only present 33% of the time, so the surf can get chewed up by afternoon sea breezes. Air temperature climbs to 22.6°C, water to 23.6°C, and precipitation is on the rise at 5.14 mm/day. It is summer surf - fun, warm and punchy rather than powerful, with early mornings offering the best chance of a clean wave.
