Conditions at Green Bowls in January
January: Northwest Monsoon Gold
January is peak season for Green Bowls. The average swell of 1.7m (5-6ft) is backed by a 12.4s period, so every set carries real Southern Ocean power. Swell direction is split between SSW (36%) and SW (47%), with an additional 11% from WSW; that puts the break right in the optimal swell window. Wave heights run mainly between 1 and 2m, with a nice chunk of 2-2.5m sets to keep things lively. Winds are ideal 51% of the time, thanks to a mix of light N/NNE offshore breezes and the dominant W/WNW cross-offshore flow. Air temperatures sit at 27.8C with 29.1C water, and although this is the wet season with about 9.5mm/day of rain, the showers usually pass and leave behind clean, groomed surf.
