Conditions at Playa Mar Verde in January
January: Mid-Winter Offshore Windows
January is one of the most reliable months at Playa Mar Verde. The average swell comes in at 0.8m (2.6ft) with a 6.7s period, and the wind is ideal for surfing 54 percent of the time. Swell from the E (25%), ESE (27.5%) and SE (26.9%) dominates the rose, with the SE component the most useful for this south-facing beach. Pure south and SSW swell totals less than 1 percent, so the surf is essentially trade-wind swell sourced from the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean. When a cold front pushes N/NNE winds across the island, the beach gets clean, lined-up 2-3ft peaks. Air temperatures average 24.5°C and the water is a warm 26.7°C, while precipitation is minimal at 0.50 mm/day; you could do far worse than a January trip to Cuba.
