Conditions at Woolamai in January
January: Peak Summer, Dawn Patrol Only
January is peak Victorian summer. The swell rose is dominated by SW waves at 47.2% and SSW at 27.1%, producing an average height of 1.5m (5ft) and an average period of 11.1s - right on the cusp of fun and firing. The bigger issue is surface texture: SSE winds blow 15.0%, SE 12.4% and S 12.0%, which is exactly the onshore window that wrecks a south-facing beach. Offshore NW/NNW/NNE winds only show around 11% of the time, so clean conditions are concentrated at dawn before the seabreeze ramps. With air temperatures around 17.8°C, water temp 18.2°C and rain at 1.66 mm/day, it is warm but often subpar - be ready to hunt banks early and go small.
