January: Peak Summer East Swell and the Sea Breeze Battle
High summer sits over Lennox Head with an average air temperature of 24.9°C, water temperature of 24.7°C and 4.71 mm/day of rainfall. The swell plot is dominated by E (26.1%) and ESE (21.9%), with SE (16.7%) and SSE (8.7%) also in the mix, so direction is excellent for the beach's east-northeast exposure. The average swell is 1.5m (5ft) and the average period is 8.6s-rideable and punchy rather than powerful. Most days offer chest-to-head-high walls in the 1-2m range. The catch is the wind: ideal offshore flow occurs only 25% of the time. NNE (12.6%), NNW (10.2%), NE (9.8%) and SE (9.5%) combine to keep the surface lumpy much of the day. Best chances come in the early morning before the NE sea breeze, or during brief SW changes. When it lines up, the east swell still pumps.
