Conditions at Jelly's Point in December
December: Winter Power Arrives
December delivers the first real block of winter surf. Average swell height reaches 4ft (1.2m), average period speeds up to 9.9s, and the percentage of 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves is among the highest of the year - roughly 58%. ENE (52%) and NE (40%) remain the primary swell directions, but there is enough NNE energy to give the wave faces some shoulders. The North and NNW directions are still only a small slice of the total, so it's not a classic north-groundswell month. Northeast monsoon winds are ramping up - N, NNE, NE and NNW together account for the majority of observations - and only 23% of conditions are ideal. Still, when the wind does slip offshore from S/SW, the combination of 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) swell and 9.9s-period lines is exactly what this spot is all about. Water temperature is 28.3°C, with rainfall climbing to 14.3mm/day.
