December: Winter Groundswell Sets the Stage
December is back to the classic winter baseline: strong NNE/NE groundswell fills the swell rose (NNE 29.6% plus NE 14.1%), but average period dips to 10.4s and ideal wind remains low at 18%. N/NNE winds blow a combined 67%, with many events in the 30-50kph range-Tehuantepec northers are at their peak. The good news is that the wave height distribution shows plenty of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) surf, so when the wind cooperates, Punta Chipehua has real power in the water. Water temperature 27.0°C and air around 23.2°C. This is more of a 'hunt for the sheltered wind' month, but it sets up the quality February-April stretch to come.
