December: The Monsoon Flip Brings Onshore Mess
December marks the return of the northwest monsoon and the most challenging wind pattern of the year for Ekas. The swell is still present - average height is around 4-5ft (1.2-1.4m) and the period is 12.7s - with SSW and SW swells sharing the energy almost completely. But the wind rose flips hard to W at 19.5 percent, WSW at 16.2 percent, WNW at 11.5 percent, and NW/NNW, meaning onshore winds dominate and only 33 percent of the time is ideal. The rain returns in force at 7.70 mm/day, air temperature is 27.6°C, and water temperature is a warm 29.5°C. There are still rideable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, but they are frequently lumpy and sectioned by the wet-season breeze. This is the quietest stretch of the year for consistent quality.
