Conditions at Acapulquito in January
January: The Deep Winter Lull
January sits at the low end of Acapulquito's surf calendar. The average swell height fades to 0.8m (2.6ft) with a 11.9s period, while ideal offshore winds are present only 67% of the time. The waverose is dominated by S and SSW energy - together about 67% of the spectrum - but most of it sits in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) range. There are small contributions from N and NNE, which can carry decent period but are not inside the preferred ONO/O/OSO/SO swell window. Winds are predominantly light-to-moderate NNW, NW, and WNW, which keeps the east-facing beach relatively clean, but the lower frequency of true offshore flow and lack of size make this the slowest month of the season. With water temperature at 22.3°C, air temperatures around 21.1°C, and only 0.33 mm/day of rain, conditions are pleasant but small. When a S/SSW swell meets a WNW offshore breeze, the cove still turns on with glassy, fun-sized peaks.
