Conditions at Blaketown Wedge in December
December: Holiday Crowds and Westerly Bumps
December wraps up the year with summer in full swing. The swell averages only 1.7m (5.5-6ft) and the mean period drops to 11.0s - the lowest of the year. The wave window is still dominated by WSW and W, but there's a stronger WNW/NW influence, which tends to wrap into the Wedge with less power and more short-period secondary energy. The wind is the nail in the coffin: W, WNW and NW together account for nearly 36 percent of the observations, keeping the ideal offshore window at 30 percent. Add in warming water temperatures of 15.7°C and longer days, and the Wedge becomes a magnet for beginners and boogie boarders. For the experienced surfer, it's a slim-pickings month - unless a rogue east-coast low swings through and gifts you a clean, mellow day.
