December: Trade-Off Month
December wraps up the year with the second-best offshore wind ratio on the calendar-40%-but the swell engine has wound down. Average height falls to 5.9ft (1.8m), period to 11.5s, and swell direction becomes less direct, with SE and SSE dominating while S and SSW drop to 24.4% combined. Clean days will still deliver rippable 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) waves, but Teahupoo's infamous XL potential is mostly dormant. The wet season returns with 8.03 mm/day of rain, air temperature of 26.6°C and water temperature of 27.8°C. Expect humid, warm conditions with fewer heavy standouts until the South Pacific storm track reawakens in March.
