Conditions at Sulingan Beach in January
January: The Amihan Roars
Sulingan is in the full grip of the northeast monsoon in January. The average swell is a solid 2.1m (7ft) with an average period of 9.4s, and the wave-direction distribution is almost entirely inside the ideal quadrant: NE swells supply 39.6 percent, ENE 38.5 percent, and NNE 3.2 percent. This is the kind of heavy, structured groundswell that would have the lineup lighting up - except the monsoon wind is blowing onshore from the same northeastern quadrant nearly 90 percent of the time. With only 1 percent ideal offshore wind hours, the beach is usually windblown, sectiony and hard to surf. Air temperatures average 26.8°C, water temperature 27.5°C, and January is one of the wetter months with 13.51 mm/day of rain. Keep this month on the back burner unless a rare SW/W wind swing coincides with a drop in the trades.
