Conditions at Pansukian in January
January: Big Monsoon Groundswell, Low Clean Percentage
January is the biggest month of the year at Pansukian, with an average swell height of 5.6ft (1.7m) and a punchy 9.5s period. The swell window is dominated by NE and ENE directions, which combine for about 88% of all readings. That puts most of the energy outside the E/ESE/SE/SSE window this southeast-facing spot sees best. The northeast monsoon is in full control, with ENE winds at 29%, NE winds at 26% and E winds at 14% dominating the wind rose. Ideal offshore W/WNW/NW/NNW flow is rare, only about 10% of the time. Expect meaty, powerful NE/ENE groundswell that is often lumpy and challenging. The standout sessions happen when a strong high-pressure cell sets up a NW wind and cleans up the faces. Air temperatures average 26.7°C, water temperature is 27.7°C, and January is one of the wetter months with around 16.9mm of rain per day.
