Conditions at Krishna River in December
December: Clean but Easterly
December rounds out the year with continuing clean conditions but a definite shift toward smaller, more easterly swell. Average height is around 1.0m (3-4ft) with a shorter period of 7.7s, and the swell distribution is strongly E at 43 percent and ESE at 33 percent, with only 15 percent SE and 3 percent SSE. This is not the optimal direction for the SSE-facing beach, so the river mouth loses some of the raw power it gets from S and SSW swells. However, the wind stays favorable, with ENE at 36 percent, E at 25 percent and NE at 14 percent, and ideal wind frequency remains high at 36 percent. The result is clean but modest surf, generally in the waist-to-chest-high range with grovelly sections unless a proper E or ESE groundswell lines up. With air temperatures around 25°C, water temperature at 26°C and dry weather, December is still a pleasant month for a board and a sunrise session.
