December: Classic Tropical Winter Surf
December closes the year with the highest ideal wind percentage of all: 69%. The winter pattern is in full swing, with NNE winds dominating at 31.5% and NNW adding another 11.4%.

Swell averages a modest 1.0m (around 3ft) with a 12.2s period, still firmly in the powerful long-period class. Directionally, SSW (63.4%) and S (22.7%) are still the main events, but a subtle NNW/N component (around 3%) shows up as background energy. Rainfall is negligible at 0.30 mm/day and water temperatures are pleasant 28.4°C. December is not the biggest month of the year, but it is one of the cleanest and most consistent - perfect for longboarding, tuning up turns, and enjoying warm tropical mornings with a solid offshore breeze.
