Conditions at Moshi Moshi in January
January: The Amihan Machine
The northeast monsoon is in full swing in January, pumping the average swell to 4ft (1.3m) with a period of 9.4s - right in the rideable, punchy pocket. The swell rose is brutally one-sided: 60% comes from the ENE and 35% from the NE, with only a whisper of N/NNW energy. Because Moshi Moshi faces NNW, this isn't true open-ocean groundswell hitting the beach head-on; it's more of a shadowed, refracted trade-wind swell. The good news is the wind is ideal 45% of the time, with the S/SSW/SW/WSW offshore quadrant arriving mostly under 10kph. Light offshore winds plus 3-5ft (1-1.5m) ENE swell can actually make for clean, rippable walls on the better sand bars, even if it lacks the raw power of a proper N/NW groundswell. Air temperatures sit at 25.6°C with heavy tropical showers (17.24mm/day) and water temp at 27.6°C.
