January: Mid-Winter NNW Pulse
January delivers the core of the northeast monsoon season, with an average swell height of 2-3ft (0.7m) and an average period of 7.8s. The directional data shows a remarkable 91 percent of the swell arriving from the NNW - with 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves making up 14.4 percent of the readings and another 2.5 percent pushing into the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range. This is punchy, rideable monsoon windswell rather than long-period groundswell. Ideal wind is present 22 percent of the time, most reliably when SSW/SW/WSW/W breezes take over, but N, NNE and NNW winds still occupy a large share of the wind rose and can add cross/onshore texture for this north-west-facing beach. Water temp is 26.1°C, air temp averages 20.6°C, and rainfall is low at 0.88mm/day, so the month is consistently surfable.
