December: The Real Surf Season Arrives
December is where it all comes together. Average swell height climbs back to 1.0m (3.3ft), period lengthens to 6.6s, and the wave rose shows the most balanced E/ESE mix of the year: 34.6% from E and 59.2% from ESE. The size profile is promising - 49.1% in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) class, 37.9% in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class, and a 3.9% share of 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) waves.
