Conditions at Isdhoo in December
December: Low-Surf Slop Sets In
December marks the official return to the northeast monsoon. Ideal wind is only 14%, and the wind rose shows NE (17%), ENE (14%), NNE (10%), NNW (10%), NW (8%) and W (8%) - enough onshore and cross-onshore north flow to disrupt wave quality at this north-facing spot. Swell averages 3ft (1.0m) with a short 6.4s period. The wave rose is back to east/northeast origins: E (23%), ESE (17%), ENE (15%), SE (9%), with some SW (8%) and WSW (7%) leftovers. The NE/ENE swell is directionally closer to Isdhoo's ideal window, but it is almost always accompanied by the wrong wind. Water temp is 28.6°C, air 27.3°C, rain 5.9mm/day. Time to wait for next season.
