January: Clean Trade-Wind Surf on the Pacific Corner
January is one of the most reliable months of the year at Bejuco. Strong high pressure across the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean helps drive dry, offshore N to NE flow down the Central American coast, setting up the clean morning conditions this SSW-facing beach loves. The wind statistic says conditions are ideal for surfing 26 percent of the time, and those windows are golden. Average swell height sits at 3ft (0.9m), but with an average period of 12.4s the waves have real long-period power for their size. The swell rose is dominated by SSW swell at 86%, with another 13% from the SW, which is exactly what the exposed south-southwest corner wants to see. Most waves are in the fun-sized 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range, with just under a third reaching 3-5ft (1-1.5m). Air temperatures average 26.1°C, precipitation is low at 1.34mm/day, and the water sits at a warm 28.4°C. When the N/NE trades groom the surface, January delivers some of the cleanest, most user-friendly surf of the year.
