January: Clean Westerly Runways
January at La Ticla is a study in consistency. The average swell checks in at 1.1m (3-4ft) with a hefty 13.8s period, and the direction split is a healthy mix of W (30%), WSW (33.9%), SW (26.2%) and SSW (6.6%). Most of that energy sits in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, with a small but persistent 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) contribution from the west. The wind story is even better: NNE through E offshore flow accounts for more than half the observations, and 60% of the time the conditions are ideal.
