Conditions at Bombies in December
December: Early Wet Season, Clean Conditions Return
December marks the true return of the northwest monsoon, and Bombies begins to look like itself again. Winds from W (21.2%), WNW (19.9%), and NW (4.6%) supply a cross-offshore to offshore flow, and ideal wind climbs to 21% -- double the previous month. Swell is still on the moderate side: average 1.5m (4-5ft) at 12.3s, with SSW (46.7%), WSW (14.8%), and SW (22.8%) combining for a solid, lined-up groundswell. The wave heights are mostly in the fun-to-good 1-2m range, with occasional 2-2.5m (6-8ft) pulses from WSW/W. The water is a warm 29.2°C, air 27.4°C, and rain increases to 8.6mm/day -- a small price for the return of groomed, rippable reefs. December is a solid late-month call for an early wet-season strike.
