Conditions at Cabo de San Antonio in December

December: Winter Baseline Establishes

December delivers essentially the same stats as November: 3.6ft (1.1m) average swell, 6.5s period, and a mix of ENE/E/ESE trade windswell plus NNW/NNE winter pulses. The wave rose shows E (13.7%), ESE (12.6%), NNE (12.4%), NE (11.9%), and NNW (13.1%) all contributing, with the SSE-SW window at just 3.7%. Ideal offshore winds are 16%. The best days usually come when a cold front pushes through the Gulf and a N/NNW wind flips the texture offshore, grooming the moderate ENE/ESE swell into cleaner wave faces. The air is cooler at 25.5°C, water temperature is 26.8°C, and rainfall is low at 1.29 mm/day. It is not a winter groundswell paradise, but December is one of the more dependable months to find something surfable at the cape.
