Conditions at Boulevard in January
January: Peak Amihan Power
January is the heart of the northeast monsoon and one of the biggest months of the year at Boulevard. Average swell height sits near 6ft (1.8m) with a 9.4s period, and the waverose is dominated by ENE (63%) and NE (26%) swell. That puts plenty of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) energy straight into the east-facing beach. The problem is the wind: NE and ENE breezes combine for over 65% of all observations, mostly at 10-30kph, creating persistent onshore and cross-shore chop. With ideal wind only 3% of the time, surface conditions are usually lumpy. Still, when a passing low-pressure system or a rare westerly wind shift lines up with a 10-14s pulse, Boulevard can offer powerful, grinding walls. Air temperatures average 26.7°C, with lows near 23.8°C and highs around 28.9°C, water temperature is a warm 27.5°C, and heavy tropical rainfall averages 12.98mm/day.
