Conditions at T-Land in January
January: Wet Season Grind - West Swell Meets Onshore Winds
The year opens with the northwest monsoon in full swing. T-Land's average swell height is around 4ft (1.3m) with an 11.1s period, and the swell rose is full of western energy: 45.5 percent from WSW, 34.8 percent from SW and 14.6 percent from W. That is a solid mix of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, with around 17 percent in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range and a few 6-8ft (2-2.5m) bombs. The problem is the wind. Only 10 percent of the time is the flow ideal, while W (23 percent), WNW (23.1 percent) and WSW (16 percent) dominate, all onshore or cross-onshore for the WNW-facing beach. Expect bumpy, chopped-up conditions with occasional clean windows. Air temperatures sit near 28.4°C, rainfall is heavy at 8.35 mm/day, and water temperature is a warm 29.7°C.
