Conditions at Easkey Right in December
December: The Long-Distance Runner
December delivers the longest-period waves of the pre-winter period, with an average period of 12.1s and swell heights around 8ft (2.5m). The North Atlantic is firing on all cylinders, sending powerful W (12.1%), WNW (11.9%), NNW (8.5%) and NW (7.7%) swell into Irish waters. The mean height is slightly lower than January, but the period is long, the energy is deep, and the 8ft (2.5m+) percentages from the W, WNW and NW sectors are significant. The wind is the main issue: ideal south/southwest offshore flow only shows up 22% of the time, the lowest of the year, so patience and weather-window hunting are key. Water temperature has cooled to 10.5°C, air temperatures average 7.4°C, and precipitation is high at 4.79mm/day. Wrap up warm, pick the windows, and get ready for serious winter surf.
