December: Winter Returns With Punchy, Rippable Surf
December wraps up the year with a classic winter mix. The S/SSW corridor is still the bread and butter - SSW (24.3%) and S (16.8%) combine for over 41% - but the NE/ENE component grows again to nearly 33%, making the swell less consistent through the shadowing sections of the beach. That said, average wave height holds at 4.6ft (1.4m), and the 11.2s period keeps things punchy and rideable. It's not the biggest month, but the quality can be excellent on the days when the SSW lines dominate.
Wind is your friend: ideal offshore flow runs 59% of the time, and rainfall is very low at 0.11 mm/day. Water temp sits at 80.2°F (26.8°C), air at 66.9°F (19.4°C). December delivers clean, fun, consistent surf - a fitting end to the best season.
