Conditions at Llorente in December
December: Big, Heavy, and Windblown
December is the classic Amihan month - maximum swell, minimum quality. Average heights top out at 1.8m (6ft) with 9.9s periods, and the swell is heavily weighted toward the 1.5-2m (5-6ft) band, with meaningful 2-2.5m (6-8ft) energy also present. The beach is getting slammed with northeast groundswell, but NE (33.6%) and ENE (25.8%) winds are blowing straight onshore, and ideal offshore wind is down to 4%. Precipitation is the highest of the year at 15.57 mm/day, with water temp 27.8°C (82°F) and air 27.4°C (81°F). For every occasional clean west-wind window, there are ten days of lumpy, sectioned, wind-blown chaos. Bigger is not better here in December.
