Conditions at Vizag in January
January: Clean Northeast-Monsoon Gems
January is one of the most reliable surf months at Vizag. The average swell height sits at a modest 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), but the direction spread is excellent: ESE (22.9%), SE (26.8%), SSE (24.0%) and E (17.3%) all feed the SSE-facing coast. With an average period of 9.1s, the waves have enough push to prevent the grovel feeling, and favourable winds blow 45% of the time. The dominant clean windows come from light NNW/NW flow, which grooms the surf into shape and keeps the surface reasonably glassy. Air temperatures average 23.6°C, water temperature is 25.2°C, and precipitation is very low at 0.26 mm/day, making it an easy month to find a clean, dry session. It's not pumping, but consistency and manageable size make January a quiet winner.
