Conditions at Baya in December
December: The Monsoon Takes Control
December sees the northwest monsoon assume control. Average swell height is 4-5ft (1.4m), period is 12.5s, and ideal wind drops to just 29 percent. Interestingly, the swell direction is ideal, with SSW at 59 percent, SW at 14 percent, S at 22 percent, and WSW at 4 percent, so the energy is still in the right window. But the wind rose is full of WNW at 16 percent, NW at 12 percent, W at 10 percent, and NNW at 6 percent, creating lumpy cross-onshore surfaces. Rainfall is 8.21 mm/day, air is 25.8°C, and water is 29.0°C. It is one of the lowest-quality months of the year, although the occasional NE/E offshore day with a solid SSW pulse can still produce a few surprise barrels.
