January: Long-Period Winter Groundswell and Clean Lines
January is one of the best months of the year at Pascuales. The average swell height is around 4ft (1.3m), but the real story is the 13.9s average period, which gives every wave long-period push and makes the southwest-facing beach work even when the size is moderate. The swell direction is dominated by the W and WSW sectors, with W at 41%, WSW at 29%, SW at 14% and SSW at 3%. That means a large part of the month sits inside or close to the optimal swell window.
Most days produce 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) waves, and roughly 20% reach 5-7ft (1.5-2m). Offshore winds from the N through ENE quadrant appear often enough to give an ideal wind score of 46%, keeping the faces reasonably clean and lined up. The dry season is in full effect with only 0.76 mm/day of rain, average air temps of 22.3°C and water temperature of 27.2°C. It is warm, tropical and dependable - a classic winter month for Pascuales.
