Conditions at Atlantida Pier in January
January: The Trade Wind Washing Machine
January is peak summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and Atlantida Pier is firmly in the grips of the South Atlantic subtropical high. The wind statistics tell a brutal story: the NE and ENE directions combine for a staggering 45.8% of all wind, with a significant portion blowing at 20-40 kph. These are, of course, directly onshore for this East-Southeast facing beach. The average swell height sits at a depressing 0.0m, meaning the beach is essentially reduced to a choppy, wind-blown lake. With air temperatures averaging 24°C (min 17.3°C, max 32.9°C) and water temperature at 23.7°C, the only thing that is firing is the humidity. The 4.23 mm/day of precipitation does little to calm the relentless onshore flow. For surfers, January is a write-off; the 0% ideal wind statistic is a cold, hard truth.
