Conditions at Cauit Point in January
January: Peak Amihan Punch
January is the apex of the northeast monsoon at Cauit Point. With an average swell height of 1.3m (4-5ft) and a period of 9.4s, the NE and ENE swells dominate completely - ENE accounts for 60% of the wave energy and NE adds another 35%. This is the largest, most consistent surf of the year. But the wind statistics are a reality check: ideal offshore wind is present only 10% of the time. The bulk of the wind blows from the NNE to ENE quadrant, meaning those same swell lines almost always arrive with a messy, onshore texture. When a west or northwest wind counteracts the trades, the 0.5-2m (2-6ft) ENE/NE swell can turn into clean, grinding waves off the point. Water temperature sits at 27.6°C, air temperature at 26.7°C, and the monsoon trough keeps precipitation high at 16.9 mm/day.
