Conditions at Kumari Point in January
January: Small Waves, Long Lines, Occasional Glass
January sits squarely in the northeast monsoon, with ENE and NE breezes dominating the wind rose at Kumari Point. True ideal offshore flow from the N/NNW quadrant is present 29 percent of the time, which is enough for plenty of clean morning sessions. The average swell is 3-4ft (1-1.2m) with a 12.2-second period - powerful for its size - and the swell direction spreads across the ESE-to-SSW window, with the optimal SE/SSE/S/SSW directions accounting for most of the energy. Rainfall is low at 1.44mm/day and water temps sit at 28.0°C, so January rewards patience with long, rippable walls between less organized windswell pulses.
