December: The Winter Shadow Settles
December marks the heart of the Amihan season. The raw swell data looks decent - 1.3m (4ft) and 8.2s - but the direction is overwhelmingly N (65.6%), with NNW 15.8% and NNE 10.8%. For a SW-facing beach, this is the classic shadow month: the energy slides up the coast but rarely unfolds with any real power at the spot. On a positive note, ideal wind is at its yearly maximum of 46%. NNW (17.7%), N (9.8%) and NNE (7.9%) winds keep the surface glassy for long stretches, and the dry season keeps it pleasant with just 1.46 mm/day of rain, 27.5°C air and 27.1°C water. The few rides you get will be clean but small, usually waist-high on a longboard. If you're chasing top-to-bottom barrels, December is not your month on this coast.
