December: The Good Windows Return
The northwest monsoon has officially taken hold. Ideal wind jumps to 20%, and the wind distributions become more favourable: W (20.9%), WNW (15.3%) and WSW (13.7%) help balance out the fading SE trades. Average swell is 5ft (1.5m) at 12.3 seconds - the quintessential wet-season groundswell: smaller in height, but long-period and lined up from the SSW/SW. Over 55% of the surf is in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with another 30% in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class. This is arguably the most user-friendly month of the year at Inside Rights: plenty of clean, makeable 3-6ft waves, warm 29.2°C water, air at 27.4°C and 8.6mm/day of tropical rain to keep the region lush. Get in the water before the afternoon showers and you will find the magic.
