January: The Monsoon Peak
The northwest monsoon is in full force, and Hyatt Reef gets its most reliable combination of clean winds and solid, long-period swell. The wave rose shows virtually all energy arriving from the SSW/SW quadrant-47% from SW, 36% from SSW, and 11% from WSW-while the wind clock is dominated by W (41%) and WNW (17%). This explains the 63% ideal wind figure, the best of the year. Average surf is around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) on a powerful 12.4s period, with the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and 1.5-2m (5-6ft) bands sharing the bulk and roughly 16% running 2-2.5m (6-8ft). The damp monsoon air keeps temperatures at about 25.5°C, but tropical showers are frequent with 10mm/day of rain. Water sits at a bathtub-like 29.1°C, so pack the boardshorts and enjoy the cleanest, most consistent stretch of the year.
