Conditions at The Radisson in January
January: Mid-Winter's Cleaner Windows
The year opens with average swells of 0.8m (around 2.5ft) and a mean period of 8.2s - enough to put some punch in the water. Swell direction is split between E (21.9%), ENE (15.8%) and NE (13.5%), with the biggest slabs in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range coming from ENE and NE. Since the beach is exposed to the ENE, these are the directions that wrap in cleanly when the wind plays along. That's the catch: winds are ideal only 15% of the time, yet when a departing cold front leaves WSW to WNW flow over the 21.0°C water, the break turns glassy. NNW winds dominate at 13.4%, giving some cross-offshore texture, while E and ESE winds at 6-7% remain the main quality killers. Air temperatures average 17.6°C, making it one of the cooler months, and rainfall is moderate at 2.28mm/day. January windows are some of the most consistent of the winter.
