December: Winter Groundswell Returns
December brings winter back to full force. The average swell height is 1.0m (3ft) with a long 13.4-second period, and the dominant swell direction swings back to the west-northwest: WNW 44.5% and W 37.1%, with WSW 11.1% and NW 4.8%. This is the classic North Pacific storm window - Aleutian lows generate large, long-period swells that flood down the coast. The wind is offshore 91% of the time, with NNW (35.1%), NNE (21.9%), and N (17.8%) keeping the face smooth and hollow. Water temperature is still a pleasant 26.3°C and rainfall is low (0.69 mm/day). It's a fitting finale: powerful, clean and consistent, reminding us why the winter months are Punta Burros' golden season.
