December: Prime Time for North Swells at Playa Jobos
December is peak season at Playa Jobos. The average swell height reaches 6ft (1.9m) with period 9.8s, matching the best of January and February. ENE still dominates at 37.7%, but NE jumps to 31.3% and NNE to 12.4%; while N and NNW combine for nearly 5% of the total, still a meaningful share for such a direction-sensitive spot. The trade winds are back in force, with ENE at 42.8% and E at 30.1%, so only 39% of the wind is favorable. That is the winter trade-off: the waves are there, but you need a light wind morning or a cold front passage to unlock perfect conditions. When the sky clears, the wind swings offshore from the south, and the 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) sets start jacking off the reef, December is exactly why surfers love the Caribbean winter. Water temperature is 27.3°C with air temps at 25.5°C and rainfall at 2.37mm/day.
