Conditions at Cimaja in December
December: Winter Season Underway
December is where Cimaja starts shining again. Average swell sits at 1.4m (4-5ft) with a 12.5s period, and SSW is back to being the dominant swell direction at 59%, with S at 22% and SW at 14%. The waves are consistent, mostly in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range with a strong 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) component. The wind shift is the big story: ideal offshore flow is 43%, and the WNW, W and NW directions make up a large part of the wind rose. The SE trades are retreating, so clean offshore mornings become increasingly common. Rain returns with the monsoon at 8.2 mm/day, and water temperature is a warm 28.9°C. That is a fair trade for the best surf quality in months. December is the on-ramp to the prime season, and the waves are already well worth paddling out for.
