Conditions at Punta Miramar in December
December: Small, Glassy, Dry-Season Trades
December completes the return to low-season conditions. Average wave height is back down to 1.0m (3ft) with 12.5s period. The swell rose shifts away from pure SSW: SSW still leads at 42.1%, but S (25.2%), SSE (11.4%), SE (7.0%) and ESE (4.6%) combine for a large chunk of less-than-ideal energy. There is no meaningful 1.5-2m class - just lots of small, long-period lines. The wind is the redeemer: ENE (63.1%), E (12.1%) and NE (11.4%) give an offshore-dominant regime and a 71% ideal wind score. It is the dry season again, with only 0.26mm/day of rain, water at 27.4°C and air at 27.6°C. This is the month for longboarding and catching every little shoulder; you will need a proper SSW pulse to score anything with real power.
