December: Monsoon Fury and Occasional Gems
December is high summer for the Northeast Monsoon. Average swell height is 1.6m (5.2ft) with a powerful 10.0s period. The swell is overwhelmingly from the NE (60.1%) and ENE (24.8%), with a large chunk of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) wave heights. There is no shortage of energy.
But ideal wind sits at just 8%. The wind rose shows ENE (24.9%), NE (18.5%) and E (15.5%) winds howling straight onshore. The rare day when a high-pressure system parks over southern China and pulls northwesterlies through can produce firing, head-high-plus 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) conditions. Those are the gems. Otherwise, expect wind-blown, closing-out surf. Water temp is 28.4°C and rainfall is high at 14.8 mm/day.
