Conditions at Majanicho in December
December: Peak Season at Majanicho
December is the absolute apex of the surf year at Majanicho. The average swell is 2.1m (6.9ft) with a powerful 12.6s period, and the combination of N, WNW, NW and NNW swell delivers 66% of all observations - with the heavier 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range dominating the NW and NNW quadrants. Wind is the big win: ideal surf wind hits 25%, the highest of the entire year, as the Azores High weakens and mid-latitude storms steer more frequent offshore S/SW flow. The trades are still present, with NE at 21%, NNE at 15% and ENE at 13%, but they are less persistent, and windows of clean, glassy, powerful surf are longer and more predictable. Water temp is 20.2°C, air is 18.9°C, and rain increases slightly to 0.55mm/day - a small price for the best waves of the year. Bring your step-up board and a good 3/2.
