December: Prime Time for Winter Swell
December rounds out the year with the robust, eventful pattern that makes winter the go-to season. Average swell height remains at 1.1m, period at 6.8s, and the optimal N/NNE/NE/NNW combination controls around 65% of the wave rose. N (9.9%), NNE (19.6%) and NE (24.3%) swells deliver consistent, fun-sized surf on smaller days, while NNW (11.0%) provides some of the biggest and most powerful pulses - often reaching 6ft+ (1.8m+) when the Gulf is churned by strong cold fronts. The trade-off is the wind: NNW winds dominate at 30.8% and can make conditions raw and bumpy. However, ideal offshore winds are tied for the season high at 23%, so patient surfers are rewarded with glassy mornings. Water temp drops to 25.3°C, average air temp is 21.5°C, and rainfall is low at 1.27 mm/day. December is the month to chase clean, crisp, firing lines on the Mexican Gulf coast.
