December: Winter NE Flow and Southern Groundswell All Over Again
December rounds out the year much like January: solid, average, and clean when the wind aligns. Average height is 4.6ft (1.4m), average period 11.2s, and ideal wind conditions are high at 58%. Swell directions are split between the southern groundswell (SSW 24.3%, S 16.8%) and NE/ENE windswell (32.9% combined). The southern waves are generally 3-5ft (1-1.5m) with some 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) energy, while the NE/ENE pulses show more 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) shadowing/wrap potential. Winds are dominated by NE (21.1%) and NNE (14.9%)-the offshore/cross-offshore directions that keep La Bocana's south-facing peaks clean. With only 0.11mm/day of rain, air temps averaging 19.4°C and water still a warm 26.8°C, December offers some of the most pleasant surf weather of the year. It's not the biggest month, but the consistency of clean, rideable surf makes it a reliable winter gem.
