December: Prime Time for Playas del Este
December is the best month of the year. Average swell height is 1.2m (3.9ft), the average period is 6.0s - the highest of the year - and N/NNW/NW swell accounts for 22% of the total. The 6s average still points to windswell, but the increased frequency of north pulses and occasional longer-period groundswells make for the most consistent ridable waves. E and ENE winds still blow often, but ideal wind reaches 18%, and the cooler air (23.5°C) and drier conditions (0.91 mm/day) make dawn patrol more comfortable. Water temp holds at a still-warm 26.5°C. Catch it when the north swell meets a light SSW breeze and you will see Playas del Este at its best.
