December: Winter Swell Returns Under New Year Winds
December delivers the second-biggest average swell of the year - 1.2m (4ft) with a 9.9s period. ENE (52%) and NE (40%) dominate, and the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range is especially well represented. The trade winds are now blowing out of the NE/NNE/ENE quadrant about 44% of the time, while ideal offshore wind drops to 17%. Clean sessions become more precious, usually tied to a west or northwest wind shift after a passing cold front or monsoonal surge. When the wind does go offshore, the surf can be excellent: head-high plus, long-period, and powerful. Rain is seasonally high at 14.3 mm/day, air temps hover at 27.2°C, and water temps remain a balmy 28.3°C.
