Conditions at Revolcadero in January
January: Small, Long-Period and Surprisingly Clean
January at Revolcadero is served by a consistent SSW and SW swell train, but not much size. The average swell height is around 3ft (0.9m), with an average period of 13.2s - long-period energy that keeps the smaller waves lined-up and punchy. SSW contributes 53.4% of the wave energy and SW another 36.5%, which places almost the entire ocean in the ideal directional window for the south-facing beach. More than 80% of waves fall in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) category, with about 18% reaching 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and very little above that.
Winds are a highlight. Ideal conditions are present 57% of the time, and the dry season keeps the air comfortable at 24.7°C with only 0.31mm/day of rain. Water temperature is a warm 28.3°C, so it is a pleasant month for long boards and small-wave performance boards. Watch the WSW and W cross-shore components, which together account for over a quarter of the wind and can create afternoon texture.
