December: Winter Momentum, Big Swells and the Search for Clean Wind
December sets the stage for the heart of the Ngor Rights season. The average swell height sits at 1.7m (5.6ft), with an average period of 12.5s, producing powerful, long-period groundswell. The direction is almost exactly right: NNW accounts for 73.7%, NW for 9.6%, plus N (6.6%) and NNE (4.1%). Swell heights in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range are common, and there are also good percentages of 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves. The main obstacle remains the local wind. NNE (38.5%), N (21.2%), NE (19.1%) and NNW (11.0%) dominate, with ideal offshore conditions only 5% of the time. When the E/ESE/SE/SSE breeze appears, December can serve up some of the best, most powerful and most consistent surf of the entire year.
